James Gillespie
Hold Me Down
[Verse 1]
Say you don't love me
My heart has heard worse
It's not like you need to hear it
But I tell you with every verse
They say it's harder when the cut is fresh
But it's broken bones I remember
They say you want the best
But you made this broken man feel better
[Pre-Chorus]
(When you left, oh)
(When you left)
[Chorus]
I was left between a forest fire
You were there, you were calling me out
When I leave, you started screaming, "Hold me down"
As if the rain didn't know that I was leaving
'Cause when the Heavens cry, nobody makes a sound
And every step, I hear you calling, "Hold me down"
Yeah, hold me down
Hold me
[Verse 2]
You say you need no one
Your time is gold to give
It's not like you need to hear it
With a lonely way to live
They say that love is blind and fair in war
The reason why I can't remember
Is it the brightest light
That keeps the shadows far from pleasure?
[Pre-Chorus]
(When you left, oh)
(When you left)
[Chorus]
I was left between a forest fire
You were there, you were calling me out
When I leave, you started screaming, "Hold me down"
As if the rain didn't know that I was leaving
'Cause when the Heavens cry, nobody makes a sound
And every step, I hear you calling, "Hold me down"
Yeah, hold me down
Hold me
[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Heaven knows I'm not worthy
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Every step, I'm, with every step, I'm gone
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
I was left between a forest fire
You were there, you were calling me out
When I leave, you started screaming, "Hold me down"
"Hold me down"
"Hold me down"
"Hold me down"
