"Hold Me Back" Lyrics

Thinking back when we were friends

How I thought it could never end

Handshakes and smiles whenever we met

What we shared I know I'll never forget

I knew our paths were splitting

We needed different things to get by

When you were throwing our names around

Were we supposed to let it keep us down?

Now I've had friends they passed like the breeze

And more than once it took me to my knees

And when that feeling began to grow

It turned to something you didn't want to know

I don't want to know, I don't give a fuck

Why you decided to come down on us

We'll just keep the memories we have

So don't get mad if I don't let it hold me back

Can't hold me back

You'll try to tempt me

Draw me off my path

God knows I want to use my hands

But I can't get caught up in that

Because I've seen it before

Fists thrown over words

And I fought before

And it never changed a thing
