I've been holding back

I've been holding back

I've been holding back

I've been holding back

You're like a moving star

I can't get close enough to you

Been months I got your call

Our falling out we slipped right into

You were an ace for me

My crazy heart got hold of you

Your hand called every bluff

I had to fold and let it go

Since I saw you last

I've been holding back

I figured I should do just that

I thought I'd crack but I smiled instead

I'll let you read the fine print

I walk a line between

The thoughts of now

And where I've been

Today the grass is green

I've got it all so why reminisce

I'm just a mermaid

Who is not content with waveless oceans

Sometimes a gusty wind

Is what I need to feel again

Since I saw you last

I've been holding back

I figured I should do just that

I thought I'd crack but I smiled instead

I'll let you read the fine print

I've been holding back

I figured I should do just that

I saw you lastsince

I thought I'd crack but I smiled instead

I'll let you read the fine print

Read between the lines

For what got left behind

But I can't say I hold it down

The weight of seeing you now

I've been holding back

I've been holding back

I've been holding back

I've been holding back

I've been holding back

I thought I'd crack I thought

I've been hold

I thought I'd crack but I smile instead

I'll let you read the fine print

Since I saw you last

I've been holding back

I figured I should do just that

I thought I'd crack but I smiled instead

I'll let you read the fine print

Since I saw you last

I've been holding back

I figured I should do just that

I thought I'd crack but I smiled instead

I'll let you read the fine print
