Don't hold back
Is there anybody out there feeling something?

Engage me
Let me breathe the courage of your actions
Don't hold back make it be for the good

The truth is
I am not your cure but I can help you
Find a way to reconcile the dark

Don't hold back

Don't hold back

Stay right there
Cause I want to watch you taking off your morning
And putting on that midnight smile for me

You're chasing
The slow motion belief that you are dreaming
And running from the things that make you feel

Don't hold back
Is there anybody out there feeling something?
Don't hold back
Is there anybody out there feeling something?
