He Won't Hold You (feat. Rapsody)

He won't hold you

Like I do, no

He won't bring out

The love in you

(He won't hold you)

I've been feeling down and out lately

(Like I do)

Baby, since you left me

(He won't hold you)

It's been so long since your body held me

(Like I do)

Won't you come and save me?

(He won't hold you)

I never was misunderstood, baby

(Like I do)

Since the day you met me

(He won't hold you)

Now I'm lost, I'm on my own, I feel so lonely

(Like I do)

Won't you resurrect me?

And all across from all around

The people make a people sound

They dance along the avenue

Of what I thought I knew

And all across from all around

The people make a people sound (He won't)

They dance along the avenue

Of what I am to you

I won't be alright

I won't be alright

I won't be alright

And I won't be alright (Say it again)

Things rearrange, we miss what is not the same

I learned the value of what we had, taught by pain

Caught the rain, used it to wash my wounds

Learned the other side's grass wasn't as green

I bloomed, I grew

Took separation to get closer to you

You didn't let go and I held on, too

Your arms were my armor

Karma cut us loose

You learned value, I learned truth

No one holds me down the way you do

But your feelings, I let spill over and over and over

Just to cover for insecurities I couldn't show to Him

I had to face myself, my fears, my fails

Now, I know there's nothing I can't do

I dance in the rain knowin' I can swim, too

Found liberation, found my freedom

Where it begins is without you

I understand now

My only one, without you

And all across from all around

The people make a people sound

They dance along the avenue

Of what I thought I knew

And all across from all around (Across from all around)

The people make a people sound (The people sound)

They dance along the avenue (The avenue)

Of what I am to you

I won't be alright

I won't be alright

I won't be alright (Be alright)

And I won't be alright
