You had to take the time 'Cause you had to make up your mind You really didn't want to choose But you had too much to lose Time was passing by Didn't have it on your side Knew what you had to do To win sometimes, you gotta lose They tried to change your mind Told you how to live your life And they told stories Stories that shouldn't be told [Bridge] It was you against the world But you chose to hold on to your girl You gotta believe that she's the one worth fighting for [Chorus] Forget about the world And worry about the girl Not what they say Not what they say your future holds for you Forget about the world And worry about the girl Not what they say Not what they say the future holds for you Had problems in the past There's no use in looking back The future holds so much for you Go to the light, and pass on through You had a stronger love Outside forces weren't enough Tried their best to tear apart A love they hoped would never last So they tried to change your mind Told you how to live your life And they told stories Stories that shouldn't be told [Bridge] [Chorus] You gotta hold on to what you want What you've been fighting for You gotta believe in it - hold on Until you can fight no more You gotta hold on And you will see See your destiny Then you will know Which way to go [Chorus]
