Hold You Back

I got drunk, you got drunk,
We had sex, we woke up caught up in a threat count, tangled in skin
Now you're checking your phone, he's checking his,
And its right now that I start to see it,
All of the weight of the way that it is,
Caught between what it means to start over,
And what happens over and over again.

But, I don't wanna hold you,
I don't wanna hold you,
I don't wanna hold you back.
I don't wanna see you,
I don't wanna see you,
I don't wanna see you hurt like that.

You had your heart in a cage,
I cut it loose, baby fly away.
I'm holding on to what we had,
But I don't wanna hold you,
I don't wanna hold you back.

I get up, you get up.
We get dressed,
Say I love you,
Kiss you goodbye and I finally mean it,
It took until now for us both to believe it.

And, its not like we got back together,
Were just coming back to the thing that we know.
When you called it off,
You said its for the better.
That don't make it easy for me to let go, baby.

But, I don't wanna hold you,
I don't wanna hold you,
I don't wanna hold you back.
I don't wanna see you,
I don't wanna see you,
I don't wanna see you hurt like that.

You had your heart in a cage,
I cut it loose, baby fly away.
I'm holding on to what we had,
But I don't wanna hold you,
I don't wanna hold you back.

You call up if you ever get lonely,
You call me up if you ever want me.
But, until then I'm setting you free,
And if you ever come back to me, baby.

But, I don't wanna hold you,
I don't wanna hold you,
I don't wanna hold you back.
I don't wanna see you,
I don't wanna see you,
I don't wanna see you hurt like that.

You had your heart in a cage,
I cut it loose, baby fly away.
I'm holding on to what we had,
But I don't wanna hold you,
I don't wanna hold you back.
