Can't give you space
'Cause I'm scared you might run away
Can't quit the chase
'Cause I fear you might hit the brakes, wait
I'm sorry
Nothing's makin' sense right now
Keep talkin'
When I'm nervous I can't slow down
I'm sorry
The truth is I'm freakin' out
'Cause everything, I love I lose
And I don't wanna lose you too
Every time I hold on
It slips through my hands
Every time I come on too strong
I feel you pull back
I gotta learn, gotta learn to let go
Gotta learn, gotta learn
Every time I hold on
It slips through my hands
I slip
It slips through my hands
Can't get a grip
These emotions, they just won't fray
Where do I fit
In your life, in your everyday, hey
I'm sorry
Nothing's makin' sense right now
Keep talkin'
When I'm nervous I can't slow down
I'm sorry
The truth is I'm freakin' out
'Cause everything, I love I lose
And I don't wanna lose you too
Every time I hold on
It slips through my hands
Every time I come on too strong
I feel you pull back
I gotta learn, gotta learn to let go
Gotta learn, gotta learn
Every time I hold on
It slips through my hands
I slip back to old habits
Calling you way too much
Crazy, my antics
Just need you way too much
Back to old habits
Every time I hold on
It slips through my hands
Every time I come on too strong
I feel you pull back
I gotta learn, gotta learn to let go
Gotta learn, gotta learn
Every time I hold on (hold on)
It slips through my hands
I slip
It slips through my hands
I slip
It slips through my hands
