He Won’t Hold You Songtext
von Jacob Collier feat. Rapsody

He won′t hold you
Like I do
He won't bring out
The love in you

(He won′t hold you)
I been feeling down and out lately
(Like I do)
Baby, since you left me
(He won't hold you)
It's been so long since your body held me
(Like I do)
Won′t you come and save me?


(He won′t hold you)
I never was misunderstood baby
(Like I do)
Since the day you met me
(He won't hold you)
But now I′m lost, I'm on my own, I feel so lonely
(Like I do)
Won′t you resurrect me?

And all across
From all around
The people make
A people sound
They dance along
The avenue
Of what I thought I knew

And all across
From all around
The people make
A people sound
They dance along
The avenue
Of what I am to you


I won't
Be alright
I won′t
Be alright
I won't
Be alright
I won't
Be alright

Things rearrange
We miss what is not the same
I learned the value
Of what we had taught by pain
Caught the rain, used it to wash my wounds
Learned the other side′s grass wasn′t as green
I bloomed, I grew

Took separation to get closer to you
You didn't let go and I held on too
Your arms were my armor, Karma cut us loose
You learned value, I learned truth

No one holds me down the way you do
But your feelings I let spill over and over and over
Just a cover for insecurities
I couldn′t show the hell
I had to face myself, my fears, my feels

Now I know there's nothing I can′t do
I dance in the rain knowing I can swim too
Found liberation, found my freedom
Where it begins is without you
I understand now
My only one, without you

And all across
From all around
The people make
A people sound
They dance along
The avenue
Of what I thought I knew

And all across
From all around
The people make
A people sound
They dance along
The avenue
Of what I am to you

I won't
Be alright
I won′t
Be alright
I won't
Be alright
I won't
Be alright
