I Can't Hold Back lyrics

On the move, these old steel tracks.

Gonna make an escape and I'm never gonna come back.

My heart can't take another heartache.

I wouldn't swear on my grandma's grave, I couldn't do that.

I know that I'm talking way too much,

'cause baby I'm helpless in your touch.

When my heart it skips and my soul gets lit,

and my stomach turns like a fighter's fist,

I can't hold back - forgive me, I can't.

I can't hold back - forgive me, I can't.

It's killing, killing all the things I could say,

but my tongue gets tied when you're in the way,

and I can't hold back - forgive me, I can't.

I can't hold back - forgive me, I can't.

What's there to do? You're breaking through,

and like all good things God forbid I take a chance on you.

I told myself a thousand times,

'Make him look you in the eye so you know you shouldn't waste your time'.

Forgive me, I'm nervous - it's all so new.

I shouldn't let you close but I know it's what you're here to do.

When my heart it skips and my soul gets lit,

and my stomach turns like a fighter's fist,

I can't hold back - forgive me, I can't.

I can't hold back - forgive me, I can't.

It's killing, killing all the things I could say,

but my tongue gets tied when you're in the way,

and I can't hold back - forgive me, I can't.

I can't hold back - forgive me, I can't.

Before it all falls down upon you

you give in 'cause you know you have to.

When my heart it skips and my soul gets lit,

and my stomach turns like a fighter's fist,

I can't hold back - forgive me, I can't.

I can't hold back - forgive me, I can't.

It's killing, killing all the things I could say,

but my tongue gets tied when you're in the way,

and I can't hold back, I can't hold back.

Forgive me, I can't... I can't.
