...holding me (back) - My Only

Dead for what felt like a lifetime

And now a heart starts to beat again

But nevertheless, I’m breathing

Every fear fades away when you’re holding, when you’re holding me

I was so scared that all my doubts I had would remain unanswered

As I float in denial, so unsure how to reconcile…

All this time, regret was holding me

It was… holding me (back)

All the doubts that were in my head

They were… holding me (back)

When I feel your arms around me, all of my fear starts to fade

Regret was all that I held.

Inside me

Was an… unfamiliar feeling

Lost my spark and then forgot how to burn

Inside me, inside me, inside of me, I felt the cold take a hold

Holding me, it was… holding me (back)

All the doubts that are in my head

Holding me, are they… holding me (back)?

What if I’m …sayingtoomuch?

Or what if I’m not quite good enough?

I

Had a grip on my modesty

But it seems I forgot about empathy

There’s flaws that I’ve got to work on

And there’s regret I’ve held inside

Maybe practise won’t make me perfect;

Honest to god I’m gonna try

Holding me, regret was… holding me (back)

Holding me, regret was… holding me (back)

Holding me, regret was… holding me (back)

Holding me

Practise won’t make me perfect

But I’ll work on my empathy

All my fears seem to fade to nothing

My darling

When you’re holding me
