I Will Never Hold You Back

(album: As I Am - 2022)

I don't know you, don't owe you
Those the words we're all so used to
We get fed up, get head up
But forget to protect those most we love

My girl, she says to me
So sweet and tenderly
We fell in this together
Hoping we'd never severe
I've got my man, and what's more
We find the pearls we look for
You need to do what makes you happy

And I will never hold you back
I will never hold you back
I will never hold you back
But promise me you've got my back
When I need you

I get distant, so absent
Drift off in the crucial moments
She's patient, such a godsend
Keeps low when I get too hellbent

And so I say to she
Apologetically
The road is lonely if I
Don't get to give a little back
I keep a space between our
Love and the places greener
Where I can watch what makes you happy

And I will never hold you back
I will never hold you back
I will never hold you back
But promise me you've got my back
When I need you
When I need you

I will never hold you back
I will never hold you back
I will never hold you back
But promise me you've got my back
I will never hold you back
I will never hold you back
I will never hold you back
But promise me you've got my back

My girl she's there for me
So sweet and tenderly
I'll do my best to hold on to her
