And when you swear that you're starin' at a stranger
And everythin' that they're sayin' is true
But you know, it's too late
You can't change her
And the wait can't be coming too soon

Hold on
You never can give up easy
Hopeless
You'll carry it through
'Cause it hurts to give up on somebody
When that somebody is you

Well, you'll always get what you ask for
You know, the easy road don't cut through
And your life is a total disaster
But you're too scared to be askin' for proof

Hold on
You never can give up easy
Hopeless
You'll carry it through
Ain't it hard to show up for somebody
When that somebody is you
Oh

To be young
And on your own
Carry it all
And never grow up
To be young
And on my own
