[Verse 1]
I don't wanna talk tonight
I don't wanna hear
Pushing it away to the side
Won't make it disappear
I'm telling you now
[Verse 2]
Do you have to break apart?
Could that be an open door?
Somebody switched off the light
And you can't find what you're looking for
I'm telling you now
[Pre-Chorus]
How many times you gonna get it right?
How many times you gonna get it right?
How many times you gonna get it right?
How many times you gonna get it right?
[Chorus]
When you held it all inside
You held it all inside
You held it all inside
You held it all
And you did not let it go
[Verse 3]
Say what I really mean
Trust myself more
What if we died tonight?
What would it have all been for?
I'm telling you now
[Pre-Chorus]
How many times you gonna get it right?
How many timеs you gonna get it right?
How many times you gonna get it right?
How many timеs you gonna get it right?
[Chorus]
When you held it all inside
You held it all inside
You held it all inside
You held it all
And you did not let it go
And you did not let it go
[Pre-Chorus]
And how many times you gonna get it right?
How many times you gonna get it right?
How many times you gonna get it right?
How many times, how many times?
How many times you gonna get it right?
How many times you gonna get it right?
How many times you gonna get it right?
How many times you gonna get it right?
[Chorus]
When you held it all inside
You held it all inside
You held it all inside
You held it all (And you did not let it go)
You held it all inside
You held it all inside
You held it all inside
You held it all
And you did not let it go
And you did not let it go
And you did not let it go
You Held It All was written by Camilla Staveley-Taylor & Jessica Staveley-Taylor.
You Held It All was produced by John Congleton.
The Staves released You Held It All on Thu Sep 14 2023.
’You Held It All’ is a song about understanding, and the knots we tie ourselves in when we don’t express our truth; and how much power and freedom there can be when we do.
