I Will Never Hold You Back

I don't know you

Don't owe you

Those the words we're all so used to

We get fed up, get het up

But forget to protect those most we love

My girl, she says to me

So sweet and tenderly

We fell in this together

Hoping we'd never severe

I've got my man, and what's more

We find the pearls we look for

You need to do what makes you happy

And I will never hold you back

I will never hold you back

I will never hold you back

But promise me you've got my back

When I need you

I get distant, so absent

Drift off in the crucial moments

She's patient, such a godsend

Keeps low when I get too hellbent

And so I say to she

Apologetically

The road is lonely if I

Don't get to give a little back

I keep a space between our

Love and the places greener

Where I can watch what makes you happy

And I will never hold you back

I will never hold you back

I will never hold you back

But promise me you've got my back

When I need you

When I need you

I will never hold you back

I will never hold you back

I will never hold you back

But promise me you've got my back

I will never hold you back

I will never hold you back

I will never hold you back

But promise me you've got my back

My girl she's there for me

So sweet and tenderly

I'll do my best to hold on to her
