Lyrics
Hold on It's never enough It's never enough until your heart stops beating The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating Until your heart You call me on the phone, you left me all alone All I get from you is shell shock Another day goes by and all I do is cry All I get from you is shell shock I'd tell the world and save my soul Rain falls down and I feel cold A cold that sleeps within my heart It tears the earth and sun apart That's the way (that's the way) that I can win (ahh) A victim of (that's the way) your evil sin (ahh) You've lost the hold (that's the way) you had on me (ahh) By causing the changes that you never see Hold on It's never enough It's never enough until your heart stops beating The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating Hold on It's never enough It's never enough until your heart stops beating The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating Hold on, until your heart When we walk through open doorways Counting time in one or more ways We can't find our peace of mind And life becomes a life of crime That's the day (that's the way) I call your name (ahh) I came to you (that's the way) I called in vain (ahh) You lost the faith (that's the way) within your heart (ahh) The fire in your soul from the end to the start Hold on It's never enough It's never enough until your heart stops beating The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating Give up the game until your heart stops beating Hold on, until your heart, until your heart Until your heart That's the way (that's the way) that I can win (ahh) A victim of (that's the way) your evil sin (ahh) You've lost the hold (that's the way) you had on me (ahh) The fire in your soul from the end to the start Hold on It's never enough It's never enough until your heart stops beating The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating Hold on It's never enough It's never enough until your heart stops beating The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating Hold on It's never enough It's never enough until your heart stops beating The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating
