[Verse 1]
The phone
Rings around four A.M
And I know it’s not my friends
I know the means to ends

Alone
Every time I don’t win
All that she wants is skin
And every time I give in

No!
There’s no need to speak in code
I think that by now we know
The way this is gonna go

[Chorus]
You’re holding back
You’re holding back
You’re holding back
You’re holding back

[Verse 2]
She
She works the graveyard shift
And my heart's been chewed to shit
But she feels like a first-aid kit
Damn
'Cause Charlotte won’t call me back
And Rachel can’t get attached
So I gotta start from scratch

Love
This shouldn’t be so hard
And that’s gonna leave a mark
Love will tear us apart again

[Chorus]
You’re holding back
You’re holding back
You’re holding back
You’re holding back

[Verse 3]
It’s none of my business
It’s none of my business
If something that you said
Is piquing my interest
Cause you wanna have fun
Cause you’re just a big kid
And you want a cold drink
And you want to be kissed
It’s none of my business
It’s none of my business
Has anyone told you
You look like an actress
Pouting your big lips
And showing your midriff
And I got no gain
So I’m gonna forfeit

[Chorus]
You’re holding back
You’re holding back
You’re holding back
You’re holding back
