Hold Back Your Tears

So I felt nothing, nothing from my waist and down
But I bottle before it hit the ground and now I'm so reachless so reachless
I ran after you, I fell down the stairs, fell through you
Same four words in the back of my head, do not go there

Out on the ledge again must have lost it when I ran

Now I'm left with no one and nothing to remember
Still running out of ink
Now hold back your tears
Now hold back those tears
A hole in my head and a whistle in my pocket
Strange how well they go together
Now hold back your tears

And then I felt nothing, nothing I never felt before
But I heard what you said before you slammed the door
On the edge of the town where we were born

I ran after you, crossed all the borders you told me to
And I changed my name like I always do
Oh so pathetic pathetic

Out on the ledge my heart, a hand in a can
Must have fallen when I ran

Now I'm left with no one and nothing to remember
Still running out of ink
Now hold back your tears
Now hold back those tears
A hole in my head and a whistle in my pocket
Strange how well they go together
Now hold back your tears

And what else can I do?
But to pay the price
And what else can I do
But to pay the price

Don't hold back your tears
Don't hold back your tears
Don't hold back your tears
Don't hold back your tears

Out on the ledge again, empty-handed
I ran after you
Don't hold back your tears
Don't hold back your tears
Don't hold back
Don't hold back
I ran after you
Don't hold back your tears
After you
Don't hold back your tears

A hole in my head and a whistle in my pocket
Strange how well they go together
Don't hold back your tears
Don't hold back your tears
Don't hold back
Don't hold back
Don't hold back your tears
Don't hold back your tears
Don't hold back your tears
Don't hold back your tears
