Hold it together, hold it in They won't know where to find you If they don't know where you've been Let the pressure build up 'Til you're feeling stuck 'Til you feel you might drown And then swim further down When the flood gates finally open And it all comes rushing out You'll find pieces of yourself You'd forgotten all about But they won't fit anymore So the tide carries them out And what is left on the shore Is something broken and impure

You don't talk to me anymore always claiming you didn't hear me So now I've stopped keeping score pretend that I'm no longer listening My backs to the wall, it's killing me Did I imagine what we once were Have I made up all those memories all of a sudden they've become a blur Truth is that even if you whisper I lean into every word you say You make me feel like a beggar Just another game that you play
