Hold me just a little longer

If it's not forever

Then it couldn't hurt to pretend

So you say

You're not my one and only

Honey, could you hold me?

Just to make it hurt a little less

Bye bye baby

It ain't worth saving

But don't leave me lonely when you turn away

Sometimes sweet can turn to sour

Fading like a flower

You know I did my best to see it through

But sometimes none of that will do

It ain't always up to you to choose

The way, the way to lose

Bye bye baby

It ain't worth saving

But don't leave me lonely when you turn away

Bye bye baby

We ain't gonna make it

So just stay and focus as we fade away

We've been kissed by blessings and our curses

Holding out forever

Waiting for our luck to change

We've been down and up and down again

Holding onto nothing

Now we've got nothing to blame

So hold me

A little longer

If it's not forever

Then leave me with a moment I can keep

I'll get over this as I get older

Once I stop this optimism

Keeps fooling me, yeah

Bye bye baby

It ain't worth saving

But don't leave me lonely when you turn away

Bye bye baby

We ain't gonna make it

So just stay and focus as we fade away

Bye bye baby

My baby

Bye bye baby

Bye bye baby

My baby

Bye bye baby
