Holding Back - Hotel Mira

The phone

Rings around four A. M

And I know it’s not my friends

I’m only means to ends

Alone

Every time I don’t win

All that she wants is skin

And every time I give in

No!

There’s no need to speak in code

I think that by now we know

The way this is gonna go

You’re holding back

You’re holding back

You’re holding back

You’re holding back

She

She works the graveyard shift

And my hearts been chewed to shit

But she feels like a first

Damn

Guess Sharla won’t call me back

And Rachel can’t get attached

So I gotta start from scratch

Love

This shouldn’t be so hard

And that’s gonna leave a mark

Love will tear us apart, yeah

You’re holding back

You’re holding back

You’re holding back

You’re holding back

It’s none of my business

It’s none of my business

If something that you said

Is piquing my interest

Cause you wanna have fun

Cause you’re just a big kid

You want a cold drink

And you want to be kissed

It’s none of my business

It’s none of my business

Has anyone told you

You look like an actress

Pouting your big lips

And showing your midriff

And I got no gain

So I’m gonna forfeit

You’re holding back

You’re holding back

You’re holding back

You’re holding back
