Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cutting corners but I'm making do
It's no life without you
'Cause I'm cutting corners and I'm standing still
Missing you and I always will
[PreChorus]
Holding back, holding back
Keeping all those feelings deep within
Baby, baby, but I'm wondering why
These feelings always seem to win, seem to win
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm cutting corners for too long
Feeling low but I'm acting strong
Cutting corners 'til you call
Just a call, baby, that is all
[Instrumental]
Holding back, holding back
Keeping all my feelings deep within, deep within
Why do these feelings
Why, baby, why do they always seem to win, seem to win?
[Chorus]
I'm just cutting corners for too long
Feeling low but I'm acting strong
I'm just cutting corners until you call
Just a call, that's all I need, baby, that's all
[Bridge]
Cutting corners, I'm making do
It's no life without you
'Cause I'm cutting corners but I'm standing still
Missing you and I always will
[Outro]
Missing you and I always will
Missing you and I always will
Missing you and I always will
