"Ricochet" lyrics

It's the start of the end and we're almost there, I can feel it
No use to try and amend, defend or conceal it
We hold tight, suppress and regress the mess that we're raising up
But we've been here once before, I know

Talk to me, I know you're in there
Most of me says we were never supposed to be
I know you better than I know myself

So go ahead, tell your friends what I said 'cause you're better off bleeding
I'll pretend that I meant what I said when I said "I didn't mean it"
We cut ties, we're quick to recommend that there's nothing left to mend, oh no
But we've been here once before, I know, so

'Cause we hit even harder, and you call me a martyr
And you rip me to pieces, and we say it don't matter?
We act all bravado, and then call the brigada
You know what I want
I know just what you're feeling like, so

Talk to me, I know you're in there
Most of me says we were never supposed to be
I know you better than I know myself

'Cause we're off and we're on (Ricochet)
It's there, then it's gone (Ricochet)
Just let me go (Ricochet)
Nothing left to say (Ricochet)
When it's all said and done (Ricochet)
We're better apart (Ricochet)
Just so you know (Ricochet)
I want you to stay (Ricochet)
Oh, no

'Cause we hit even harder, and you call me a martyr (Ricochet, ricochet)
And you rip me to pieces, don't say it don't matter (Ricochet, ricochet)
'Cause the lonely nights just last so long (Ricochet)
What can I do but just keep holding on? (Ricochet)
And on, and on (Ricochet)
And on, and on (Ricochet)

I just keep holding on, I just keep holding on
I just keep holding on, I just keep holding on
I just keep holding on, I just, I just, I just, I just
I just keep holding on, I just keep holding on
(Oh yeah! I just keep holding on
I just keep holding on; I wanna be there
I just, I want... keep holding on
I just keep holding on; Oh yeah!
I just keep holding on; Wave your fist in the air
I just keep holding on; Make a sound and I'm there
I just keep holding on; I wanna be there
I just keep holding on; Oh yeah!)

Talk to me, I know you're in there (I wanna be there)
Most of me says we were never supposed to be (Oh yeah!)
I know you better than I know myself (I wanna be there; Ricochet)
