WHEN YOU’RE DOWN AND THEN YOU’RE OUT AND THEN YOU’RE DONE
WHEN EVERYTHING HAS LEAD YOU BACK TO NONE
WHEN PEACE OF MIND HAS LEFT YOU FOR TOO LONG
THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY IS HANG ON
WHEN THE FAVOR OF THE WORLD HAS RUN AWAY
WHEN ALL THAT SEEMED TO MATTER SOMEHOW CHANGED
WHEN YOU REACH FOR LOVE BUT LOVE’S ALREADY GONE
THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY IS HANG ON
DON’T GIVE UP, DON’T GIVE IN
YOU DON’T HAVE TO SAY ITS OK
YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE TO GRIN
DON’T PRETEND THAT ITS NOT LOST
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO MY FRIEND IS JUST HANG ON
WHEN EVERYONE HAS PACKED AND LEFT YOU DRY
WHEN ALL YOU WANT TO DO RUN AND HIDE
WHEN EVERYTHING THAT ONCE WAS RIGHT IS WRONG
THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY IS HANG ON
DON’T GIVE UP, DON’T GIVE IN
YOU DON’T HAVE TO SAY ITS OK
YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE TO GRIN
DON’T PRETEND THAT ITS NOT LOST
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO MY FRIEND IS JUST HANG ON
WHEN NOTHING RHYMES AND EVERY COLOR BLEEDS
WHEN YOU’VE TRIED TOO MANY TIMES AND LOVE STILL LEAVES
WHEN YOU TIRED OF ALWAYS HAVING TO BE STRONG
THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY IS HANG ON
DON’T GIVE UP, DON’T GIVE IN
YOU DON’T HAVE TO SAY ITS OK
YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE TO GRIN
DON’T PRETEND THAT ITS NOT LOST
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO MY FRIEND
IT’S THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO MY FRIEND IS JUST HANG ON
