One night, one empty room, one man gettin' over you 
One star, one lonely moon, I make a wish, I know will never come true 
You call my name, and you beg me to hold you again 
But the truth remains, I'm only a fool who can't help but pretend 

It's all over but I'm holding on, I can't let go until the love is gone 
It's all over but I keep holding on with a desperate heart 
With my desperate heart 

Some nights, I try in my mind, I see myself learning someone new 
Still I know, I'm wasting my time, no one can take the place of you 
So I close my eyes, I swear I feel you here by my side 
But it's all only a lie, I need to believe for my heart to survive 

It's all over but I'm holding on, I can't let go until the love is gone 
It's all over but I keep holding on with a desperate heart 
With my desperate heart, I keep holding on 

All this time I've been drowning in hopeless illusions I'm keeping inside 
That someday you'll walk out of the shadows and back into my life 

It's all over but I'm holding on, I can't believe your love for me is gone 
It's all over but I keep holding on (With a desperate heart) 
Yeah with my desperate heart, I can't let go until the love is gone 
(All over but I'm holding on) I keep holding on 
(All over but I'm holding on) I can't believe your love for me is gone 
(All over but I keep holding on) 
(All over but I'm holding on) 
(All over but I keep holding on)
