You waste your days away dreaming of saying the words
Tell her the many ways you would love her if you could
The center of your world, she is there making it turn
Folding your hands to pray, wishing you were holding hers

Well you're tangled in the strings of a web
And on her your place your whole happiness
But she’ll never be able to confess
She returns the same thoughts you possess

When you want
What you can't have
Do you love
What won't love back
Aya ayo
Aya ayo

She smiles for everyone, tell yourself that it’s for you
When she’s here, the pain is gone and the sun kisses the moon
High praise and lifted hands, you can't help yourself, I understand
It’s a strange kinda power she holds on you
And it seems every hour its growing too

But you're tangled in the strings of a web
And on her your place your whole happiness
But she’ll never be able to confess
She returns the same thoughts you possess

When you want
What you can't have
Do you love
What won't love back
Aya ayo
Aya ayo

Holding on you’re holding on
To nothing more and nothing less
Holding on, you’re holding on
To all those empty promises

When you want
What you can't have
Do you love
What won't love back
When you want
What you can't have
Do you love
What won't love back
Aya ayo
Ayo ayo
Holding on, you’re holding on
