I'm holding out and I'm holding on
To every letter and every song
I pulled myself out of the day we ever had to meet
Are you through with me?

And when it all goes to hell
Will you be able to tell me sorry with a straight face?

I'm all ears and I'm all scars
To hear you tell me "Boys like you who try too hard to look not quite as desperate"
I'm hanging on
But I still know the way to make your makeup run
so

And when it all goes to hell
Will you be able to tell me sorry with a straight face?

Take this to your grave
And I'll take it to mine
Take this to your grave
And I'll take it to mine
Take this to your grave
And I'll take it to mine
Take this to your grave
And I'll take it to mine

When it all goes to hell
When it all goes to hell
When it all goes to hell

    General Comment:im pretty sure it's "every letter, and every song, i wrote myself out of the day, we ever had to meet"

    i know what the lyric book says, but it is definitely not "grudge", and wrote myself out of the day makes more sense in this case, becuz hes saying he avoided writing about the days when he had to meet this girl.

    this song and homesick at spacecamp will be played at my funeral, im sure

    General Comment:Has anyone noticed that the part that all those comments are talking about has been left out of the lyrics? Except for the first time it's said?

    General Comment:Personally my favorite line is take this to your grave and I'll take it to mine. I think it's a hilarious play on words.

    General Comment:It does sound like Cute Without the E, but they are two different bands. Personally, I think Patrick Stump is straining himself a lot in this song. It's a good song and everything but not my all time favorite FOB song. It the first line does sound like I'm holding out and I'm holding on to every letter and every song, but they've been known to have different lyrics than what's in the book thingy.
