Sixteen, you and me, never needed anything,
Summer breeze, running free, felt like we had everything
Suitcase full of dreams you said you'd run away with me,
But instead you let me leave
Your world, I can't, and I can't forget how it felt being
In love and believing this feeling will never end!

[Chorus:]
So I just hold on to the memories,
Cause if I can't have you,
Then I gotta hold on to something.
I moved on to the bigger things
Whatever we go through still we gotta hold on to something!
Still we gotta hold on to something!
Still we gotta hold on to something!

This shoe box, broken dreams, sittin' (?)
Cause I miss home, I'm here alone,
Wishing you were here with me,
And I can't breathe, these city streets
Feel like they're closing in on me,
I can't believe you let me leave
Your world, I can't, and I can't forget how it felt being
In love and believing this feeling will never end!

[Chorus:]
So I just hold on to the memories,
Cause if I can't have you,
Then I gotta hold on to something.
I moved on to the bigger things
Whatever we go through still we gotta hold on to something

*** I'm not very sure about this verse ***
And that part of pour past
That we'll always have
We love, we laugh that we never have
Now we can never go back!

So I just hold on to the memories,
Cause if I can't have you,
Then I gotta hold on to something.
I moved on to the bigger things
Whatever we go through still we gotta hold on to something
Hold on to the memories,
Cause if I can't have you,
Then I gotta hold on to something.
I moved on to the bigger things
Whatever we go through still we gotta hold on to something!
Still we gotta hold on to something!
We gotta hold on to something!
