One night, one empty room, one man gettin' over you
One star, one lonely moon, I make a wish, I know it'll never come true
You call my name, and you beg me to hold you again
But the truth remains, I'm only a fool who can't help but pretend

Chorus:
It's all over but I'm holding on, I can't let go until the love is gone
It's all over but I keep holding on with a desperate heart
With my desperate heart

Some nights I try in my mind, I see myself learning someone new
Still I know I'm wasting my time, no one can take the place of you
So I close my eyes, I swear I feel you here by my side
But it's all only a lie, I need to believe for my heart to survive

chorus

All this time I've been drowning in hopeless illusions I'm keeping inside
That someday you'll walk out of the shadows and back into my life

It's all over but I'm holding on, I can't believe your love for me is gone
It's all over but I keep holding on (with a desperate heart)
With my desperate heart, I can't let go until the love is gone
(All over but I'm holding on) I keep holding on
(All over but I'm holding on) I can't believe your love for me is gone
(All over but I keep holding on)
(All over but I'm holding on, all over but I keep holding on)
