The conversation stopped abruptly and sudden whispers filled the room We're too down to care about the eyes that are watching his every move No place is safe, I've been on the rope for days And the show's in place, grab the mic and take the stage But we can't hold back (hold back) Just give me a second to react Life just flies past and things are moving oh so fast That we can't hold back (hold back) And lose sight of everything we made You know me better than that, you know me better than they This isn't who I am Oh, girl you know, yeah yeah And with no surprise she saw every side like a story she had read Not too quick but I could guess the ending And I could see it in the those looks you're sending out I messed things up, can I make it up to gain your trust? All the things I thought that I was missing Changed them around, made my positions, with all we have is time And that's the reason why... We can't hold back (hold back) Just give me a second to react Life just flies past and things are moving oh so fast That we can't hold back (hold back) And lose sight of everything we made You know me better than that, you know me better than they This isn't who I am Oh, girl you know, yeah yeah And what do I do, to make amends for all I've put you through I see that what I've done can't keep on happening, had my fun now I'm sick No need to run, it's like someone had held their hands out begging me to come My cover's blown with the marked up concrete and leaving home is what led you straight to me Exposing more of what we can't ignore and what its for... But we can't hold back (hold back) Just give me a second to react Life just flies past and things are moving oh so fast That we can't hold back (hold back) And lose sight of everything we made You know me better than that, you know me better than they This isn't who I am
