You're Holding Back

I've got a sickness that a drive can't cure

From all the days I've been knocking at this door

I could give up but my heart wants more

So I keep picking myself up from the floor

Still I want to see you believe like me

And I want to see all the promises you can keep

And I want to see your future scars before they bleed

Cause those wounds have meaning when you're fighting for your dreams

But you're holding back

You're holding back on me now

You're holding back

You're holding back on me now

You're holding back

You're holding back on me now

You're holding back

You're holding back on me now

But you are left out in a world so cold

And you think that there's nowhere left to go

You're stuck between what could be and what you know

You never thought that things would sink this low

But you could be what you believe, what and see

You can reap some of the promises you can keep

You'll earn some future scars before you are free

But those wounds have meaning when you're fighting for your dreams

But you're holding back

You're holding back on me now

You're holding back

You're holding back on me now

You're holding back

You're holding back on me now

You're holding back

You're holding back on me now

We'll try to make our flags brilliant like the sky

We'll try to lift our wings though we could never fly

We'll trace the patterns out that make us feel alive

Don't give in this time, it's our chance for life

But you're holding back

You're holding back on me now

You're holding back

You're holding back on me now

You're holding back

You're holding back on me now

You're holding back

You're holding back on me now
