hold back the tears

living at speed

it's so hard

turns a year to days

the things that i need

it's so sad

but they will always change

so when you call my name

and the answer's not the same

hold back the tears

the tears

oh

it's raining

though water's pouring down my face

there's no complaining

we must find another place

so when you're on your own

and you can't even telephone

hold back the tears

i see your faces

i'll never see them again

the only traces

a single colour

you're in a frame

in a frame

so when you're on your own

remember we're all alone

and hold back the tears
