The conversation stopped abruptly and sudden whispers filled the room 

We're too down to care about the eyes that are watching his every move 

No place is safe, I've been on the rope for days 

And the show's in place, grab the mic and take the stage 



But we can't hold back (hold back) 

Just give me a second to react 

Life just flies past and things are moving oh so fast 

That we can't hold back (hold back) 

And lose sight of everything we made 

You know me better than that, you know me better than they 

This isn't who I am 



Oh, girl you know, yeah yeah 



And with no surprise she saw every side like a story she had read 

Not too quick but I could guess the ending 

And I could see it in the those looks you're sending out 

I messed things up, can I make it up to gain your trust? 

All the things I thought that I was missing 

Changed them around, made my positions, with all we have is time 

And that's the reason why... 



We can't hold back (hold back) 

Just give me a second to react 

Life just flies past and things are moving oh so fast 

That we can't hold back (hold back) 

And lose sight of everything we made 

You know me better than that, you know me better than they 

This isn't who I am 



Oh, girl you know, yeah yeah 

And what do I do, to make amends for all I've put you through 



I see that what I've done can't keep on happening, had my fun now I'm sick 

No need to run, it's like someone had held their hands out begging me to come 

My cover's blown with the marked up concrete and leaving home is what led you straight to me 

Exposing more of what we can't ignore and what its for... 



But we can't hold back (hold back) 

Just give me a second to react 

Life just flies past and things are moving oh so fast 

That we can't hold back (hold back) 

And lose sight of everything we made 

You know me better than that, you know me better than they 

This isn't who I am
