lyrics

I can’t let go, but I want to
I’m holding back, holding me back
I can’t let go, but I want to
I’m holding back, holding me back

I’m angry from injustice
I’m proud and I am afraid
Of failure and rejection
I’m trying to replace my pain
But I shame myself

I can’t let go, but I want to
I’m holding back, holding me back
I can’t let go, but I want to
I’m holding back, holding me back

Oh, I judge
I complain
Yeah, I criticize and I place the blame
On you and on me
When I can’t be free to see thankfully
I paralyze what could be

I can’t let go, but I want to
I’m holding back, holding me back
I can’t let go
I want to
I’m holding back, holding me back

Won’t you release me
I wanna receive
I wanna receive you completely
How can I love you
Love you completely?

I learned fear rules in the fool proud to punish you
That is not the Outcry
These plastic toys are not the Outcry

Do we recognize the Outcry?
We were loved before we knew ourselves.
Loved before we knew
These inside times are more than words
Will you listen?
