Let the tears fall like rain    if that's what it takes   To wash away your memory   Let the hurt take it's time    I don't mind waiting    If that's the way it's gotta be    I'll keep holdin on    Till the heartache's gone       All the might have beens    And the never will be's    They could never take your place    But they're all that's left    And all that ever mattered to me    And they fill this empty space    I'll keep holdin on    Till the heartache's gone      I'll make believe you still love me    Till the heartache is gone    I'll pretend you still care    Till the heartache is gone    You'll always be here    Till the heartache is gone       Whoaaaaaa   I can make it through    The pain of losing you    That's the way it's gotta be    I'll keep holdin on    No matter how long    Till the heartache's gone
