I’m Done Holding On
By City Life-Henry Walker
[Verse 1]
This morning you said that you were leaving, with tears in your eyes I don’t know why you’re standing there crying — I never got the chance to decide You already had your bags packed, ready to move along I’m just bracing for this quiet place and the silence when you’re gone
[Pre‑Chorus]
How many times must we go through this I just can’t do this again—
[Chorus]
I’m done holding on to someone who’s already gone I won’t beg you to stay when your heart’s moving on If you need your freedom, baby, go and be strong I loved you, but I’m done… yeah, I’m done holding on
[Verse 2]
You’re still standing there crying, asking me why I won’t fight for us But I can’t fight a battle when the war’s already lost How can you tell me you’re leaving, then want me to beg you to stay I can’t fight for us when you don’t see an “us,” and your love’s faded away
[Pre‑Chorus]
How many times must we go through this I just can’t do this again—
[Chorus]
I’m done holding on to someone who’s already gone I won’t beg you to stay when your heart’s moving on If you need your freedom, baby, go and be strong I loved you, but I’m done… yeah, I’m done holding on
[Bridge]
I don’t want to do this anymore — I won’t stop you if you’re leaving I don’t want to do this anymore — won’t beg you when your heart’s out the door I don’t want to do this anymore… I don’t want to do this anymore
[Outro]
I’m done holding on to someone who’s already gone I won’t beg you to stay when your heart’s moving on If you need your freedom, baby, go and be strong I loved you, but I’m done… yeah, I’m done holding on Yeah… I’m done holding on
