Holding Out Lyrics by Inklings

Piece By Piece

2019

[Intro]
(Oh, oh, oh..
Oh, oh, oh..
Oh, oh, oh..
Oh, oh..) [2x]

[Verse]
End of the night
Nothing anyone knows
I'm not looking to fight
But you're drunk, I suppose
You're not getting it right
When you talk, and it shows
Yeah, it's everyone's fault but your own

Back at home, and we sit
Had emotional drains [?]
I went looking to fix
You would rather complain
You'd joke [?], "we should split"
When we had it again
You're a victim of caution alone [?]

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why
That I care

[Chorus]
I'm guessing it's over now
The one that got away
You know I've been holding out
To see what you would say
I'm guessing you want me gone
And there'd be a sign [?]
You know I've been missing when you were mine

[Verse]
You drove us away, from the city we lived
In the dust and the hay, to the place that I missed
And the year to the day, with the girl that I kissed
You were a stranger that lives in a town

You're taking a lot
Nobody knows
You're taking a lot
You're drunk, I suppose
You're taking a lot
Now that it shows
I'm wondering why that I care

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why
That I care

[Chorus]
I'm guessing it's over now
The one that got away
You know I've been holding out
To see what you would say
I'm guessing you want me gone
And there'd be a sign [?]
You know I've been missing when you said that you were mine

[Bridge]
Breathe in, gotta say I want.. [?]
(Breathe in, breathe in)
You can't be hurt [?]
Breathe in, gotta say I want.. [?]
(Breathe in, breathe in)
You can't be hurt [?]
Tell me why, that I care
Tell me why, that I care

[Chorus]
I'm guessing it's over now
The one that got away
You know I've been holding out
To see what you would say
I'm guessing you want me gone
And there'd be a sign [?]
You know I've been missing when you said that you were mine
