Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I go out
Right out
For a heart in a heartless town
I'd come unwound
[Verse 2]
And this love
My love
Isn't all that I thought it was
Am I no one
Without someone to need me
[Verse 3]
Hold back your love
You know that I've had my doubts
Wanna see what I feel without
Every feeling is streaming out
Now you know that I mean it
[Verse 4]
Hold back your love
You know that I've had my doubts
Wanna see what I feel without
Every feeling is streaming out
Now you know that I mean it
[Verse 5]
I go out
Right out
With the world nearly falling down
I go on out
[Verse 6]
And I saw
No love
A town that's guilty of breaking more
No one adored
Trying to reason and pleading
[Verse 7]
Hold back your love
You know that I've had my doubts
Wanna see what I feel without
Every feeling is streaming out
Now you know that I mean it
[Verse 8]
Hold back your love
You know that I've had my doubts
Wanna see what I feel without
Every feeling is streaming out
Now you know that I mean it
[Verse 9]
If I'm dreaming, where do I go
Lost my feeling, so how will I know
If I'm dreaming, where do I go
(Hold back your love)
Lost my feeling, so how will I know
(Hold back your love)
If I'm dreaming, where do I go
(Hold back your love)
Lost my feeling, so how will I know
(Hold back your love)
[Verse 10]
Hold back your love
Hold back your love
If you hold back your love
How will I know
Hold back your love
Hold back your love
If you hold back your love
How will I know
[Verse 11]
Hold back your love
(Hold back your love)
You know that I've had my doubts
(Hold back your love)
Wanna see what I feel without
(If you hold back your love)
Every feeling is streaming out
(How will I know)
Now you know that I mean it
