Lyrics for Hold Me Down

I found a letter that said, "I'm sorry that" "You were asleep when I wrote these words down" "You'd think I'd ought to be used to that by now" Stay for a few of those late night episodes Missed opportunities, and "I don't care's" There's not a lot that I feel obliged to share Or talk about I'll have my brother stop by this Saturday to Pick up my things, just make sure you're not there This may sound bad, and don't take it the wrong way I love you, however You hold me down You hold me down You hold me down You hold me down You're the echoes of my everything You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night You're the laziness of afternoon You're the reason why I burst and why I bloom How will I break the news to you? How will I break the news to you? Cancel our dinner with Max and Coraline Feed Jacky's gerbil and try to stay clean We'll talk it over after I've had some time Alone to sort it out You hold me down You hold me down You hold me down You hold me down You're the echoes of my everything You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night You're the laziness of afternoon You're the reason why I burst and why I bloom You're the leaky sink of sentiment You're the failed attempts I never could forget You're the metaphors I can't create To comprehend this curse that I call love How will I break the news to you? How will I break the news to you? How will I break the news to you? How will I break the news to you? How will I break the news to you?
