You said goodbye on Tuesday I figured I would see you by the weekend I either didn't hear you right Or maybe this ol' heart didn't listen So I'm writing you this letter I may never send Wonderin' if you're wonderin' how I've been It's lonely but I'm hangin' in Hangin' out till I'm with you again Runnin' out of reason to be strong Hangin' in, hangin' out, hangin' on Talk about blue Monday Tomorrow it's a week I've been without you I haven't gone to work yet I couldn't do a thing but think about you But I know that I can make it through whatever comes As long as there is still a chance to save our love It's lonely but I'm hangin' in Hangin' out till I'm with you again Runnin' out of reason to be strong Hangin' in, hangin' out, hangin' on It's lonely but I'm hangin' in Hangin' out till I'm with you again Runnin' out of reason to be strong Hangin' in, hangin' out, hangin' on
