Time is a slow sword that can pierce any armor
As we drown our hearts hiding from the ghosts of one another
It's all that I can do to keep smiling

Don't hold back
Could you kiss me if I was crying
Don't hold back

Why can't we slip out of these lies
Slip into a love where fear's not choking
Instead we're getting burnt like flies

Who think the light will hide the fact we're broken
It's all that I can do to keep smiling
Don't hold back

Could you kiss me if I was crying
Don't hold back
Can it be so hard to say I love you

It's all that I can do to keep smiling
Don't hold back
Could you kiss me if was crying, was dying, was feeling fine

Don't hold back
