He Won't Hold You (feat. Rapsody)

He won't hold you

Like I do (no)

He won't bring out

The love in you

(He won't hold you)

I've been feeling down and out lately

(Like I do)

Baby since you left me

(He won't hold you)

It's been so long since your body held me

(Like I do)

Won't you come and save me?

(He won't hold you)

I never was misunderstood, baby

(Like I do)

Since the day you met me

(He won't hold you)

Now I'm lost, I'm on my own, I feel so lonely

(Like I do)

Won't you resurrect me?

(He won't hold you)

And all across from all around

The people make a people sound

They dance along the avenue

Of what I thought I knew

(He won't hold you)

And all across from all around

The people make a people sound (he won't)

They dance along the avenue

Of what I hound to

[Post-chorus: Jacob collier]

I won't be alright

I won't be alright

I won't be alright

And I won't be alright (say it again)

Things rearrange, we miss what is not the same

I learned the value of what we had, taught by pain

Caught the rain

Used it to wash my wounds

Learned the other side's grass wasn't as green, I bloomed, I grew

Took separation to get closer to you

You didn't let go and I held onto

Your arms were my armor

Karma cut us loose

You learned value, I learned truth

No one holds me down the way you do

But your feelings out there spill over, and over and over

Just to cover for insecurities, I couldn't show to him

I had to face myself, my fears, my feels

Now I know there's nothing I can't do

I dance in the rain knowin' I can swim too

Found liberation, found my freedom

Where it begins is without you

I understand now

My only one, without you

(He won't hold you)

And all across from all around

The people make a people sound

They dance along the avenue

Of what I thought I knew

(He won't hold you)

And all across from all around

The people make a people sound (the people sound)

They dance along the avenue

Of what I hound to

I won't be alright

I won't be alright

I won't be alright (be alright)

And I won't be alright
