She said she loved me all night long
I couldn't help but let her string my heart along
I knew better, I still do
But I'm not the first man who's ever played the fool

So tell me why do I keep holding on?
Oh, why do I keep staring down the barrel of a loaded gun?
Tell me why can't I just let go?
Somebody knows, then tell me

I won't point the finger but I'll take the blame
'Cause I saw her coming from a million miles away
I should have fought the feeling but I gave in
'Cause those lying blue eyes kept on pulling me back in

So tell me why do I keep holding on?
Oh, why do I keep staring down the barrel of a loaded gun?
Then tell me why can't I just let go?
Somebody knows, then tell me, oh, oh

So tell me why do I keep holding on?
Oh, why do I keep staring down the barrel of a loaded gun?
Then tell me why can't I just let go?
Somebody knows, somebody knows, then tell me
Oh, why can't you just tell me if you know?
