Holding On To Nothing Lyrics

by Lily Allen

Sometimes I see his face
I wanna hold you but it feels unsafe
Too scared to give me heart up now
I'm not brave enough to play my part now

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e112050-lily_allen~holding_on_to_nothing_lyrics.html ]
Can you guarantee that you'll stay
Here with me, with me

It feels strange like a foreign thing
I'm still waiting for the love to kick in
Sometimes when I watch you sleeping
I keep hand to check you're breathing

It's not fair, not your fault, not your fault
Not at all, not at all

Once bitten, twice shy
I try and I try, I try
Cause I'm holding on to nothing
I'm holding on to nothing
Once bitten, twice shy

I can't seem to find the strength
What's the point in keeping you at arm's length
I wanna love you but I can't imagine
What I'd do if the worst did happen

Can you guarantee that you'll stay
Here with me, with me

Once bitten, twice shy
I try and I try, I try
Cause I'm holding on to nothing
I'm holding on to nothing
Once bitten, twice shy

Where I've been, never thought
No I won't go back
Couldn't take anymore
I'm not going back
Going back, going back

Once bitten, twice shy
I try and I try, I try
Cause I'm holding on to nothing
I'm holding on to nothing
Once bitten, twice shy
Once bitten, twice shy
