The Giveaway (Holding Back) Lyrics

[Verse 1: K'La]
Wrote you a letter the other day
Didn't quite say what I needed to
Thought if I told you in that way
You'd remember what I mean to you
But maybe I wrote it for myself
Maybe I needed to see those words
Cause I left your letter on my shelf
And decided to say it to you first

[Hook]
Maybe I was wrong
Maybe you were right all along
Maybe I was wrong
Maybe you were right all along
I keep holding back
And I don't know why
I keep holding back
And I don't know why
I keep holding back
And I don't know why
I keep holding back
And I don't know why
I keep holding back
And I don't know why
I keep holding back
And I don't know why
[Verse 2]
Told me I had more love to give
I swore to you I gave my all
Maybe it's just too much to give
Maybe it's just too hard to fall
If I tried to tell you again
All of the reasons I can't
You'd probably tell me I'm trippin'
But then I look back at you
And all of things you would do
And I'm starting to think that it's different

[Hook]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
