Holding You Back
(Orton, Bedford-Pugh)

Holding you back, don't want to be holding you back.
Holding you back, don't want to be holding you back.

You always keep returning to the,
The thing that keeps you yearning for a,
Place in these changing times.
I always catch you thinking of the,
Life you could be leading if you'd,
Not found your way into mine.

It's possible I'm dreaming as I,
Always think we're winning now I,
Know that this might be the case.
I've come to understand that my,
intentions seem to fall flat now I,
Just want to give you your space. Yeah.

Holding you back, don't want to be holding you back.
Holding you back, don't want to be holding you back.

These feelings keep on coming,
As I find myself out looking for a,
Clue about how to proceed.
I look into the mirror,
And reflect on what I see there as I,
Think about how things might be.

It seems the game keeps changing,
And it's so hard rearranging,
All the things that you thought and believed.
It feels like we are risking something,
But I know you're wishing for,
A chance for you to spread those wings. Yeah.

Perhaps we'll have an ending as we're,
Done with all pretending that will,
Set us on a path to peace.
Changes can be painful but I,
Keep remaining hopeful,
That will get you your desired release.

You always keep returning to the,
The thing that keeps you yearning for a,
Place in these changing times.
I bet you're thinking,
Of the life you'd be leading,
If you'd not found your way to mine.

Holding you back, don't want to be holding you back.
