Text: Nadia Ali. Fine Print.

I've been holding back.... x4

You're like a moving star,
I can't get close enough to you.
Been months, I got your call.
Our falling out we slipped right into.
You were an ace for me.
My crazy heart got hold of you.
Your hand called every bluff,
I had to fold and let it go.

Since I saw you last,
I've been holding back.
I figured I should do just that.
I thought I'd crack, but I smiled instead.
I'll let you read the fine print.

I walk a line between
the thoughts of now and where I've been.
Today the grass is green.
I've got it all so why reminisce.
I'm just a mermaid who
is not content with waveless oceans.
Sometimes a gusty wind is what I need to feel again.

Since I saw you last,
I've been holding back.
I figured I should do just that.
I thought I'd crack, but I smiled instead.
I'll let you read the fine print.

Read between the lines
for what got left behind.
But I can't say,
I'll hold it down.
The weight of seeing you now.

I've been holding back...
