Suddenly, it went wrong

No more holding you, touching you

Kissing you, loving you, nothing

Tell me what are you running for

Is there anything I can do more

Tell me is this really the end

Can’t we go on and pretend

I’m gonna hold, I’m gonna hold on

I’m gonna hold, I’m gonna hold on

Now you wanna go

And I say no

Then it’s fuck you

But I love you

Can we stop

Don’t run and hide

Run and hide

Don’t run and hide

Run and hide

Tell me what are you running for (What are you running for)

Is there anything I can do more (Can I do anything)

Tell me is this really the end (Is this really the end of you and me)

Can’t we go on and pretend (Can we go on)

I’m gonna hold, I’m gonna hold on

I’m gonna hold, I’m gonna hold on

Gonna hold on

Gonna hold on

Drop your pride, I’ll drop my failure

When I’m with you, I’m much better

It was when I listened to the bridge that my eyes started to water. His high note on “hide” left me speechless. That unreachable falsetto of his showed the rawness of what he was feeling. I was truly at a loss for words as I stood clutching my chest.
