Hold Your Nerve

Did you want me to curse and let you down
I believe the reverse is true
It couldn’t get any worse I’d let you drown
I don’t wanna be there for you

Everybody’s been burned for their point of view
The weak get pushed around
Don’t believe in regrets quite as much as you
I wanna shut it down

Maybe it’ll occur to you
Maybe I’ll figure out what I should do

No sense in getting upset what good can it do
You’ll let them tear you down
You know its all been rehearsed til the lies are true
Til no one makes a sound

Maybe it’ll occur to you
Maybe I’ll figure out what I should do

When they’re coming for you
Ooh ooh when they’re coming for you
You may not be the first
I know it’s never deserved
Just hold your nerve
Cos they’re coming for you

Maybe it’ll occur to you
Maybe I’ll figure out what I should do
Baby it’ll occur to you
Maybe I’ll figure out what I should do
