Lyrics

[Intro]
C5 F5 Eb5 G5
      C5
Suspended!

[Verse 1]
Bb5 C5 Bb5
C5                                  Bb5
  I thought I was stuck between two worlds
C5                          Bb5    C5
  Because I was not willing to let go!

[Break]
Recklessly pulled both ways
But somehow still suspended
The worst of each
                F5
Reduced and blended

[Verse 2]
                 Eb5
But as life unfolded I realized
G5                     C5
  The momentum to drift  from side to side
Ab5
   Came from within
Bb5
   Came from within
C5                 Eb5 Bb5
  Came from inside!

[Chorus]
C5 Bb5 Eb5
Bb5
   Trade them in for one
Ab5 C5 Eb5 Bb5                    C5
              So why would I hold on?

[Verse 3]
C5 Bb5 C5
         One heart turned black
Burned black

[Break]
    Bb5   C5
The other blue and bruised
Arms breaking from the dreams
Dreams shattered
The dreams that I can't reach
There has to be
There has to be
A choice I have not seen
Choice I have not seen

[Chorus]
Bb5 Eb5 Bb5
           Trade them in for one
Ab5 C5 Eb5 Bb/D                    Ab5
               So why would I hold on?

[Interlude]
C5 Eb5 Bb5           Bb5/F
          Trade them in   for one
C5
  One darkened over
Time burning away the shame

[Verse 4]
Erasing in hidden sights
Did not want to be seen
The other was beaten
From being exposed
So it hurt less
                 F5
To never hold it close

[Interlude]
C5 Eb5 Bb5/F             C5
            So why would I hold on?

[Bridge]
Bb5 C5 Bb5 C5
             Neither heart had the power
   Bb5
To fill my veins
C5                          Bb5
  Or be the source of who I want to be
