Yeah, you got me holdin' back, holdin' back You and I make so much love Why you got me all fucked up? So you better stay up, player Yeah, you better keep up, player 'Cause tonight is a game-changer 'Cause it ain't enough But it ain't enough You and I

And yes I'm holdin' you, holdin' you, holdin' you Left you in all black But dear old Nicki Please call back You told me you'd come when I needed you But I'm standing here calling I cant see you But I am holding you, holding you, holding you to that Oh

I'm holding on to a life, I'll never get back It's too hard to let go I'm on the right train but the wrong tracks Trying not to derail Nothing is like it was before I know not who I am anymore Chasing something that's behind me When will I be set free?

She won't stop me put it down And don't look back Oh baby don't stop Bury me and fade to black So get your gun and meet me by the door Would I lie to you? Gun it while I'm holding on Don't stop if I fall Wait until it fades to black

Why'd I have to go and do you like that? Thought I'd moved on and you brought me right back To the night you took my kiss away from me I took yours too, then I lost you Bring me back to holding hands in the rain I swear I'd ease your pain Lift you up so

And if forever never comes tonight I'll hold on, hold on (Now you know why) I'm lost without you And there's nothing I can do Your the one that I can't go without And by holding onto you, then I'll be holding on forever Never been together long enough

But no flame burns forever, oh no You and I both know this all too well And most don't even last the night One last time Just one last time With the twilight No they don't, they say they don't Without holding back my mind Oh babe, meet me in Tompkins

Oh even if we're ready or not Ready or not but I waste no time I'm headin' out with some friends of mine Holdin' on to what we've got Ready or not but they're back in town The word is out that this time around They'll be lettin' go with all they've got

Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night Take me back to the basics and the simple life Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby But all this driving Is driving me crazy And all this moving Is proving to

I don't want you back If you don't want to give me your heart Until I know it's real But I'm still gonna love forever And I don't want to let you back Until I know All along I knew that you were Holding your feelings back from me And why ma said I'd do
