Tired of Holding Back

V6-WILD

[Intro – Spoken Rap] Yeah… I'm not tired of you. I'm tired of fighting myself, Holding back everything I feel, Scared of getting it wrong again. [Verse 1 – Rap] I'm tired of holding back the feelings that I feel, Trying to hide my heart when everything is real. I wanna pull you closer, hold you through the night, Wake up with you beside me, knowing we're alright. I wanna kiss your forehead, kiss your lips, hold you tight, Give you all my affection from morning until night. But I'm scared of crossing lines, scared of getting it wrong, So I keep my feelings hidden when they've been inside so long. You said I gave too many kisses, too much touch, So I stepped back, afraid of being too much. Now I'm wondering if I've gone too far, Holding back the love that's written in my heart. If I give you everything, maybe it's too much, If I keep it all inside, you might miss my touch. [Chorus – Rhythmic Rap] I'm tired of holding back, tired of second-guessing, Tired of wondering if I'm learning any lessons. I don't wanna be too much, don't wanna be too little, I'm trying to read your heart, but I'm missing every signal. All I wanna do is make you smile, Hold you close and stay awhile. I'm not perfect, baby, but my heart is true, I'm trying to become a better man for you. [Verse 2 – Rap] Maybe I'm blind, maybe I don't understand, Maybe I miss the little clues you give firsthand. The little looks, the little touches, the moments passing by, The things you wish I'd notice without asking you why. I'm sorry when I miss them, I don't mean to let you down, I'm not ignoring your feelings when you're around. Maybe we're straightforward, maybe hints escape our view, But I wanna learn to understand the little things you do. That's no excuse, I know I need to grow, I wanna learn your language, understand what you don't show. Tell me what you're feeling, help me see what I don't see, I can't read your mind, but your words can guide me. [Verse 3 – Fast Rap] I'm all or nothing, that's the battle in my head, Replaying every moment, every single word you said. Was I giving you too much? Did I hold back too long? Did I miss another signal? Did I get another thing wrong? I'm trying to find the middle, trying to get the balance right, Trying not to overwhelm you with the love I hold inside. I don't wanna make you angry, don't wanna make you cry, I want you to see how hard I really try. I wanna be a better man than I was before, Understand your heart and learn to give you more. Not more pressure, not more fear, just the love you wanna feel, A love that's safe and honest, a love that's real. I know I make mistakes, sometimes I get things wrong, But I'm learning from my failures, trying to grow strong. [Chorus – Rhythmic Rap] I'm tired of holding back, tired of second-guessing, Tired of wondering if I'm learning any lessons. I don't wanna be too much, don't wanna be too little, I'm trying to read your heart, but I'm missing every signal. All I wanna do is make you smile, Hold you close and stay awhile. I'm not perfect, baby, but my heart is true, I'm trying to become a better man for you. [Bridge – Spoken Rap] Baby, listen. I know I'll make mistakes. I know I'll upset you sometimes. But I never do it on purpose. I'm not trying to hurt you. I'm trying to love you Without making you feel overwhelmed. I'm sorry when I hold back too much, And sorry when I give too much. I'm still learning, still trying, Sometimes I don't know what I'm doing. [Verse 4 – Rap] Tell me what you need, don't leave me guessing blind, Tell me when you want me close, when you need a little time. Help me understand the things I struggle to recognise, I wanna learn your language, see beyond my own eyes. I wanna hold you through the hard days and the rain, Learn from my mistakes instead of making them again. I'm not asking you to change the person you have been, Just help me understand you as I work on what's within. [Final Chorus – Strong Rap] I'm tired of holding back, but I'm not giving up, I'm tired of doubting when I wanna show you love. I don't wanna be too much, don't wanna disappear, I wanna find the balance where you want me standing near. All I wanna do is make you smile, Hold you close and walk with you awhile. I'm still learning, baby, that's the honest truth, I'm trying to be a better man for myself and you. [Outro – Spoken Rap] I'm not perfect. Sometimes I give too much. Sometimes I hold back too tight. But I'm trying, baby, Trying to understand, Trying to be a better version of the man I am. Help me see the things I miss. Help me understand your heart. I'm tired of holding back. I just wanna love you right.
