As we learn big words
And big fears
And big cures
We learn to dry our eyes

For fear that one day
They will see our grey
And we will lose our pride

Hold it in
Words and wishes in your skin

Hold it in
Words and wishes in your skin

You are the sole one
With hope and a handgun
Keep it together, please try

When you come undone
Fears you will run from
Or look them dead in the eye

Hold it in
Words and wishes in your skin
Hold it in
Words and wishes in your skin

Hold it in, Hold it in, Hold it in
