Lyrics

Holding Back

[Verse]

Couldn't decide if I should stay here

Losing my mind, living the same year

So many times, what's there to say

When it feels like you're holding back?

Living a lie for entertainment

Too many times, I felt you changing

Give me a sign, what's there to say

When it feels like you're holding back?

[Pre-Drop]

(Holding back, holding back)

(Holding back) Holding back

(Holding back, holding back)

(Holding back) Holding back

[Drop]

Feel like you're holding back

Feel like you're holding back

[Break]

(Holding back)

(Holding back)

[Verse]

Couldn't decide if I should stay here

Losing my mind, living the same year

So many times, what's there to say

When it feels like you're holding back?

Living a lie for entertainment

Too many times, I felt you changing

Give me a sign, what's there to say

When it feels like you're holding back?

[Pre-Drop]

(Holding back, holding back)

(Holding back) Holding back

(Holding back, holding back)

(Holding back) Holding back

[Drop]

Feel like you're holding back

Feel like you're holding back
