Lily Allen - Holding on to Nothing lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Sometimes I see his face

I want to hold you but it feels unsafe

Too scared to give me heart up now

I'm not brave enough to play my part now

(Bridge)

Can you guarantee that you'll stay

Here with me, with me

(Verse)

Feels strange like a foreign thing

I'm still waiting for the love to kick in

Sometimes when I watch you sleeping

I keep hand to check you're breathing

(Bridge)

It's not fair, not your fault

Not at all, not at all

(Chorus)

Once bitten, twice shy

I try and I try, I try

Cause I'm holding on to nothing

I'm holding on to nothing

Once bitten, twice shy

(Verse)

I can't seem to find the strength

What's the point in keeping you at arm's length

I want to love you but I can't imagine

What I'd do if the worst did happen

(Bridge)

It's not fair, not your fault

Not at all, not at all

(Chorus)

Once bitten, twice shy

I try and I try, I try

Cause I'm holding on to nothing

I'm holding on to nothing

Once bitten, twice shy

(Bridge)

Where I've been, never thought

No I won't go back

Couldn't take anymore

I'm not going back

Going back, going back

(Chorus)

Once bitten, twice shy

I try and I try, I try

Cause I'm holding on to nothing

I'm holding on to nothing

Once bitten, twice shy
