Takes

Lyrics

[verse]

I keep telling myself that I'm just fine

Building walls up, drawing every line

But every time you walk into the room

My careful world just seems to lose its room

[chorus]

I can't hold back what's rising in my chest

I can't pretend that you're not more than the rest

I've tried to reason, tried to stay contained

But this is stronger than the games I've played

[verse]

Friends have told me I should let it show

Stop the hiding, let the feeling grow

I've been the calm one, steady, in control

But you've gone and gotten into my whole soul

[chorus]

I can't hold back what's rising in my chest

I can't pretend that you're not more than the rest

I've tried to reason, tried to stay contained

But this is stronger than the games I've played

[bridge]

So here I am, no more excuses left

No more silence, no more careful steps

I'm done with fighting what was always true

There's nothing left to do but love you

[chorus]

I can't hold back what's rising in my chest

I can't pretend that you're not more than the rest

I've tried to reason, tried to stay contained

But this is stronger than the games I've played

## Lyrics
[verse]
I keep telling myself that I'm just fine
Building walls up, drawing every line
But every time you walk into the room
My careful world just seems to lose its room

[chorus]
I can't hold back what's rising in my chest
I can't pretend that you're not more than the rest
I've tried to reason, tried to stay contained
But this is stronger than the games I've played

[verse]
Friends have told me I should let it show
Stop the hiding, let the feeling grow
I've been the calm one, steady, in control
But you've gone and gotten into my whole soul

[chorus]
I can't hold back what's rising in my chest
I can't pretend that you're not more than the rest
I've tried to reason, tried to stay contained
But this is stronger than the games I've played

[bridge]
So here I am, no more excuses left
No more silence, no more careful steps
I'm done with fighting what was always true
There's nothing left to do but love you

[chorus]
I can't hold back what's rising in my chest
I can't pretend that you're not more than the rest
I've tried to reason, tried to stay contained
But this is stronger than the games I've played
