There's something out there left for you
But it's not me
We've reached a point of no return it's only right
I set you free

I know I'll have to turn away
But there's nowhere for my love to go
And there won't come a day
When I won't honor what we've vowed
But I'll go on with my life
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart

When my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you
We can't deny that this one's
Out of our control

Stronger than the both of us
And bound to take its toll
I can stand the test of time
And as far as I can see

There are no walls that we can't climb
Standin' between you and me
But I'll go on with my life
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart

When my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you
And there's a place you'll always be
No matter where you are
You're here with me

When the world is turning upside down
Together we can stand our ground
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart

Even when my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you
I'm still holdin' on to you
