"Hanging On Too Long"
It was just my mistake
Thinking you cared
It was just my mistake
Thinking you'd be there
That you'd be by my side
And that you wouldn't lie
My mistake
Why is it that every time that I think that I found love and someone to spend my life with the crush all my hopes and dreams and aspirations. Well I guess that should have expected that from Logan. Since day one he was always mesmerized by Jean. Now that Scott has divorced her there was nothing stopping him from going after her and leaving me sitting here asking myself "why did you give him the chance to get close enough to you to let your guard down."
It was just my false hope
Thinking we'd last, yeah
It was just my false hope
Forgot all your past
All those girls you denied
Smashed up hearts hung out to dry
When he left Jean alone and began to pursue me I figured that not all hope was lost. I thought that he was over Jean. I thought that the past was forgotten and he was ready to focus on the present and the future. I finally would get a happy ending for myself but that never happened. As soon as it started it was over. He finally has the one that he wants and it's burning me up inside.
I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long
I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long
But I need to move on
Hanging on too long
I was a fool for you
Right from the start, yeah
I was a fool for you
Hoping for a spark
For some kind of sign
That you would be mine
I made a fool of myself for you. I sided with you and stuck by your side. You never really acknowledged it but I was a fool for your love and that's all that mattered. I thought that if I showed you that I was a kindred spirit, you would show interest in me. I hate what I did to myself hoping to catch your eye. I turned my back on those who really loved and cared about me, for what. Nothing.
I know it's wrong, I do
Hanging on too long
And I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long
My heart was clutching
To what felt right
My head was pumping
It could put up a fight
I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long
And I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long
And I need to move on
I'm hanging on too long
I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long
And I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long
I held on to you so tight that I lost myself. I did the one thing that I said that I would never do again and that was to lose myself in a man so much that I don't recognize myself when I look in the mirror. I am strong and I know that I will make it but right now I need a distraction from all the pain and hurt that you have caused me. I know that I need to let you go because nothing good can come from hanging on too long to a man that was never mine in the first place.
The End
