Look behind these eyes, honey, what do you see?
  I'm not sure that I know
  And if it's the man that you imagined was me
  Make sure that he knows there's no holding on
  
  I told you some secrets and I told you some lies
  Just 'cause you were near
  And if you didn't love me with those deep brown eyes
  I might not still be here; there's no holding on
  
  And if you had to leave me honey I wouldn't care
  I put no faith in dreams
  And someday you might walk away and leave me somewhere
  'Cause that's what freedom means: there's no holding on
  
  Hold onto your memories
  But don't hold onto love
  Love's got a knack of disappearing
  Leaving you the lonely one
  Leaving you still holding on
  
  Five little knuckles holding one little hand
  Just to keep it warm
  So don't start thinking that I'm that kind of man
  'Cause habits will get born; there's no holding on
  
  Hold onto your memories
  But don't hold onto love
  Love's got a knack of disappearing
  Leaving you the lonely one
  Leaving you still holding on
  
  And if you had to leave me honey I wouldn't care
  I put no faith in dreams
  And someday you might walk away and leave me somewhere
  'Cause that's what freedom means: there's no holding on
  There's no holding on....
