You're holding back
You always have
With your careful choice of words
And obstacles
Make damn well sure
That you're learning from the past
When no one is around anymore
Who will listen close to your voice?
And distance all your love and support
To make it on your own
But what for?
They come and go
These friends I know
could sit longer in one place
With passing years
The time I fear
Has slipped through my open arms
When no one is around anymore
Who will listen close to your voice?
And distance all your love and support
To make it on your own
But what for?
Open your eyes
It's time to wake up now
Words from reprise
Make me a promise now
