Holding Out - Inklings

(Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh.)

End of the night

Nothing anyone knows

I’m not looking to fight

But you’re drunk, I suppose

You’re not getting it right

When you talk, and it shows

Yeah, it’s everyone’s fault but your own

Back at home, and we sit

Had emotional drains

I went looking to fix

You would rather complain

You’d joke, «we should split»

When we had it again

You’re a victim of caution alone

Tell me why

That I care

I’m guessing it’s over now

The one that got away

You know I’ve been holding out

To see what you would say

I’m guessing you want me gone

And there’d be a sign

You know I’ve been missing when you were mine

You drove us away, from the city we lived

In the dust and the hay, to the place that I missed

And the year to the day, with the girl that I kissed

You were a stranger that lives in a town

You’re taking a lot

Nobody knows

You’re taking a lot

You’re drunk, I suppose

You’re taking a lot

Now that it shows

I’m wondering why that I care

Tell me why

That I care

I’m guessing it’s over now

The one that got away

You know I’ve been holding out

To see what you would say

I’m guessing you want me gone

And there’d be a sign

You know I’ve been missing when you said that you were mine

Breathe in, gotta say I want.

(Breathe in, breathe in)

You can’t be hurt

Breathe in, gotta say I want.

(Breathe in, breathe in)

You can’t be hurt

Tell me why, that I care

Tell me why, that I care

I’m guessing it’s over now

The one that got away

You know I’ve been holding out

To see what you would say

I’m guessing you want me gone

And there’d be a sign

You know I’ve been missing when you said that you were mine
