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
