Holiday Lyrics by Alter Bridge

Pawns & Kings

2022

[Verse 1]
I couldn't lie if I wanted to, the trick of the take
Has brought this all to a new kinda low
Stuck in a line to an early grave that stands in the way
Of the life I'm meant to know

Save me
I'm falling
With a long long way to go
Losing the fight in a shallow play with nothing to gain
Well I don't wanna bitch about it no more

[Pre-Chorus]
I've reached the end, it's time
So bring me peace of mind

[Chorus]
I need a holiday
There's nothing left to save
I'll hold my tongue as I close the door
Before I walk away
I'll be the first to say
There's more to life than a living
So I'll sprеad my wings and fly

[Verse 2]
I compromised to the whims of men who promisеd a change
But in the end they left me high and dry
I play the fool time and time again, I guess I'm to blame
Now I'm barely getting by

They'll take it all, yeah
And you know that I am right
They'll rob you blind till the wicked end, this place is insane
I got no patience left to put up a fight

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm down to my last nerve
It only brings me to my worst
When will I learn?

[Chorus]
I need a holiday
There's nothing left to save
I'll hold my tongue as I close the door
Before I walk away
I'll be the first to say
There's more to life than a living
So I'll spread my wings and fly

[Pre-Chorus]
I've reached the end, it's time
So bring me peace of mind

[Bridge]
I need a holiday
There's nothing left to save
I'll hold my tongue as I close the door
Before I walk away
I'll be the first to say
There's more to life than a living

[Chorus]
I need a holiday
There's nothing left to save
I'll hold my tongue as I close the door
Before I walk away
I'll be the first to say
There's more to life than a living
So I'll spread my wings and fly

[Outro]
I'll spread my wings and fly
I'll spread my wings and fly
