Hold Back

(album: Run Where The Light Calls - 2023)

Watching the stars burn out
All of the days I took for granted
Now they hold me down
Am I letting the darkness win?
Stranded, waiting
Begging just to be let in, 'cause

I, I am running outta sacrifices
I, I, can't see where the light is

There's no weight in the words that you don't say
No risk in the chance that you don't take
I feel it slipping outta my hands
Any hope for the love that I hold back
Any hope, any hope
Any hope for the love that I hold back

When all of our time is spent
I wanna have chosen
To have given every single breath
And I wanna let you in
I wanna be free from this
I wanna let go of everything, 'cause

I, I am running outta sacrifices
I, I, can't see where the light is

There's no weight in the words that you don't say
No risk in the chance that you don't take
I feel it slipping outta my hands
Any hope for the love that I hold back
There's no power in stories left untold
No grace in the things that you control
I feel it slipping outta my hands
Any hope for the love that I hold back

'Cause every single time
I go on alone, I lose my direction
No matter how I try
I can't find anyone inside my reflection
And I don't wanna hide
From the chance that I could let myself be known, no

But, there's no weight in the words that you don't say
No risk in the chance that you don't take
I feel it slipping outta my hands
Any hope for the love that I hold back
There's no power in stories left untold
No grace in the things that you control
I feel it slipping outta my hands
Any hope for the love that I hold back

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh, any hope for the love that I hold back
Ooh-whoa-oh, any hope for the love that I hold back
