The Amber Bugs - Holding Back Lyrics

Holding back, holding back
It takes time, don't you realise that?
Holding back, back on track
Back on time for whatever it is

And no one knows and no one cares
Where you've been for your holidays
And no one knows and no one cares
They didn't notice you weren't there

Try to make it through, make it through the week
And everything you do it makes you weak
After a while you try to smile
You look down the barrel and you just say "cheese!"

Now you're dancing with a bottle cheek to cheek
Never thought your outlook would be so bleak
In this house of can'ts and cans of lager

It's an open invitation to do what you want to do

Now you're wondering will you make it through if you lose your self belief?
The only thing you've got for sure is faith in pain relief
Keeps you alive, numbs your insides, so testify!
And keep sobriety brief

It's an open invitation to do what you want to do
If you change your situation then your mind will follow too
It's an open invitation so do you what have to to pull through
It's just mental syncopation
