"Holding Me Back" lyrics

"Holding Me Back"

I see it clearer than most guys
And even better than daylight
You don't know pain from your hideout
I've been around the world
I used to feed from your drug
Now the pleasure's from one side
Your presence by my side
Is the only thing holding me back
Keeping you around was a trap
And now I'm drunk as hell
Well, now you know how I feel

Don't you ever worry, 'bout my life?
Please say you need me one last time

What they hear, what they say
The love of my life's now a wife
Along the way I make three girls
Might be the worst, I'm not safe
I've been around the world
Don't you forget, I mean it
Don't keep pushing me and go blind
Don't you hear, what I say?
You're the only one that's holding me back
Keeping you around was a trap
And now I'm drunk as hell
Well, now you know how I feel

Don't you ever worry, 'bout my life?
Please say you need me one last time
You're the only one that's holding me back

You're the only one that's holding me back
Holding me back
You're the only one that's holding me back
Holding me back
Holding me back
Holding me back
