[Verse]
BOoh, you wanted it too late
You wanted it too lEate now
I Bcan't keep track of all your tears
You're crying rivers Eway too long
BOoh, I'm tired of loneliness
And way more tired of Ewasted time
As I'm Bstill, you barely look alive
These sharks will do Eso much good
[Pre-chorus]
BJust keep your wits about you, Adon't let Eit end you
BAnd summon everything you've Aheld up Ein reserve
BDon't fall for every single Astolen gElance and wink
BTry to keep your heart on Ahigher Eshelves once
[Chorus]
BWhat are you holding back
I know your wild horses Aon the inside of youE  
(Stop holding back)
BNow slip the tattoo on
Serenity, its Agone from red to blueE  
(Stop holding back)
BI'll make you of this love
And no you don't have time withAout itE

BI know I don't know much
But I do know when to ApreachE

BOoh, you wanted it to work
You wanted it to work Eso much
But Bit's been broken in your hands
The minute that it Efound your hands
BOoh, you're trying not to blink
And what you wanna Esee what is
BOoh, it hasn't finished you
It's only that it fEeels that way
[Pre-chorus]
BJust keep your wits about you, Adon't let Eit end you
BAnd summon everything you've Aheld up Ein reserve
BDon't fall for every single Astolen gElance and wink

[Intro]

[Verse]

Ooh, you wanted it too late

You wanted it too late now

I can't keep track of all your tears

You're crying rivers way too long

Ooh, I'm tired of loneliness

And way more tired of wasted time

As I'm still, you barely look alive

These sharks will do so much good

[Pre-chorus]

But I do know when to preach

(Stop holding back)

Ooh, you wanted it to work

You wanted it to work so much

But it's been broken in your hands

The minute that it found your hands

Ooh, you're trying not to blink

And what you wanna see what is

Ooh, it hasn't finished you

It's only that it feels that way
