Machine Lyrics by Cat Pierce

CP1*

2019

[Verse 1]
There's a million songs about it
People just can't live without it
I've been looking all my life
What is love

[Hook]
He’s more machine now than man

[Chorus]
My hands have kept you in this place
Now I release you
The shame is painted on your face
Now I believe you
Why are we holding on
Why are we holding on
Why are we holding on

[Verse 2]
Carry on my wayward lover
We do not deserve each other
I am lonely, but I'm learning
What is love

[Hook]
He’s more machine now than man

[Chorus]
My hands have kept you in this place
Now I release you
The shame is painted on your face
Now I believe you
Why are we holding on
Why are we holding on
Why are we holding on
(Why are we holding on)

[Bridge]
In the valley of our shadow
Wandering like stars
Miles of empty space between us
I see who you are

[Chorus]
My hands have kept you in this place
Now I release you
The shame is painted on your face
Now I believe you
Why are we holding on
Why are we holding on
Why are we holding on
Why are we holding on
(Why are we holding on)

[Outro]
My hands have kept you in this place
Now I release you
The shame is painted on your face
Now I believe you
My hands have kept you in this place
Now I release you
The shame is painted on your face
Now I believe you
