Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Whenever we talk about sun all I see is the rain It's like looking for tears in a ocean I'm hearing your words like the wind They blow straight through my heart Will you ever give in to emotion And we hurt the ones that we love the most Why we do only heaven knows And I don't know why I'm still holding on holding on I reach in my heart to see If your love is alive in me But now I feel alone My feelings turn to stone My heart makes no apologies When an apology's made it isn't always enough To erase all the past in a moment Whenever I need you the most You always leave me behind With a word from your lips I'm alone You've been blind not to realize All the love that I hold inside So tell me why do I keep holding on holding on What I need is your sympathy Like a light flowing into me But I will never give up holding on holding on My heart makes no apologies no no My feelings turn to stone I make no apologies
