Be Sharp Say Nowt - Patrick Topping

All sounds good to me or so I say to be set free But over time it eats its way in through the dome Not in the moment but it manifests at home Oh I give myself some grief on whether to back my own belief 'Cos if I do it's the wrong hill on which to die And if I don't it's another chance that I let fly If it's something I want; it's something I need Still it always failed to get me on my knees And if it's somewhere I never thought to look Or one of these memories that at the time I mistook Oh I disagree, always took what's in front of me But over time I feel I've really let it go By playing it off that I never gave a fuck at all To the point where it now feels I've got the arse end of the deal Pushed about by my own doubt I'd do it wrong It's just this overwhelming urge to get along If it's something I want; it's something I need Still it always failed to get me on my knees And if it's something I don't feel is good Then I'll exercise my right to switch it up I changed my way of thinking it put me in the groove With this positive of a mental attitude But I have to admit something It almost ground me down Only so many ways that you can play this out I've been holding on for so long Holding on for so long, tryna see it through Said i'd keep it joyful, won't be nothing blue But after such a long tenure, had to take a sip Could you hold on for 10 years and never lose your grip I've been holding on for so long
