I've been holding on
So much longer than I should
But it's not easy letting go
When deep inside you know
That it used to be so good

You're the kind of girl
Who's got to make it in this world
So if that is going to be
Your one priority
Better walk away from me

And I just wanted to say
Thank you for the use of your love
It was good while the dream was young
Faded now
I won't stand in your way
Thank you for the use of your love
'Cause there's nothing more precious than time
You take yours
I'll take mine

I've been lookin' back
I don't regret a single day
But the woman that you were
I'm still in love with her
And the way it used to be

So I just wanted to say
Thank you for the use of your love
It was good while the dream was young
Faded now
I won't stand in your way
Thank you for the use of your love
'Cause there's nothing more precious than time
You take yours
I'll take mine

You'll always be a part of me
Time will never change the way I feel

I just wanted to say
Thank you for the use of your love
It was good while the dream was young
Faded now
I won't stand in your way
Thank you for the use of your love
'Cause there's nothing more precious than time

I just wanted to say
Thank you for the use of your love
