i do, adieu

I was staring at the ceiling after a fight we had

From the comfort of your father's broken couch in the living room

I could've burned a hole right up into heaven

With the hate spilling out my eyes

That's when it hit me

That episode of Cheers

Where Sam's about to marry Diane

But he's afraid that the life they live feels comfortable

But gets in the way of everything that she could ever be

Our love must die here

In this old cursed apartment

So that the light inside of you can grow

I was the one holding you back

I was the one holding you back

I was the one holding you back

I was the one holding you back

I was the one holding you back

The one holding you back

To be honest, I'm not sure if you saw that one

You'd always fall asleep before then

When it was the background soundtrack

To our low-class love shack

As we tossed and turned that night

When we were in what I'd call love

But that love has died here

In this old cursed apartment

So that the light inside of you can grow

I was the one holding you back

I was the one holding you back

I was the one holding you back

I was the one holding you back

I was the one holding you back

The one holding you back
