Lyrics
I've been holding back
I've been holding back
I've been holding back
I've been holding back
You're like a moving star
I can't get close enough to you
Been months I got your call
Our falling out, we slipped right into
You were an ace for me
My crazy heart got hold of you
Your hand called every bluff
I had to fold and let it go
Since I saw you last
I've been holding back
I figured I should
Do just that
I thought I'd crack
But I smiled instead
I'll let you
Read the fine print
I walk a line between
The thoughts of now and where I've been
Today the grass is green
I've got it all, so why reminisce?
I'm just a mermaid who is
Not content with waveless oceans
Sometimes a gusty wind
Is what I need to feel again
Since I saw you last
I've been holding back
I figured I should
Do just that
I thought I'd crack
But I smiled instead
I'll let you
Read the fine print
Since I saw you last
I've been holding back
I figured I should
Do just that
I thought I'd crack
But I smiled instead
I'll let you
Read the fine print
Read between the lines
For what got left behind
But I can't say, I'll hold it down
The weight of seeing you now
I've been holding back
I've been holding back
I've been holding back
I've been holding back
I've been holding back
I thought I'd crack a thought
I've been holding back
I thought I'd crack
But I smiled instead
I'll let you
Read the fine print
Since I saw you last
