Lyrics

You watched me plow through your chain of thorns
You cast me out; I wore your horns
You string me up like a marionette
And though I can forgive, I can't forget
Hey, babe, you know that I am a shape-shifter
Oh, babe, but you keep twisting me to be like you
And the watchdogs too, all screaming in the name of religion

I can't hold on
Honey, and I can't hold
I can't hold on for long
Honey, I can't hold on.

I waited for you at the end of the aisle
In my monkey suit and my crooked smile
I walked through fire, I did my best
Now I'm wondering when I pass your test

Hey, babe, you know that I would die for you
Oh, babe, but you keep asking me to live
A life that isn't mine, while your cup keeps trickling over


I can't hold on
Honey, and I can't hold
I can't hold on for long
Honey, I can't hold on.

I can't hold on no more
To that distant shore
I can't move and I can't grow
Until I let you go


I can't hold on
Honey, and I can't hold
I can't hold on for long
Honey, I can't hold on.
