Coming in hot, know I'm a lot
There's something I have to say
(There's something I have to say)
Stir up the pot, push it a notch
Wasn't easy, memorable anyway
(Memorable anyway)
Down on your luck, don't you give up
I got a way to make it all disappear
(I got a way, I got a way)
Calling your bluff, it is enough
I get the sense you wanna get out of here
(You wanna get out of here)
I'm holdin' back a million times
There it is, that familiar feeling
Now it has to change on my count
I gotta step onto the middle ground
(Ah, middle ground)
My hesitation, it keeps me waiting
I get ahead, yeah, I get ahead of myself
(I get ahead of myself, lately)
No imitation, I throw you chase it
Losing the patience I need for everything else
(I need for everything else, everything else)
Now I fall apart
Show me the way you love, woman
I harbor your pain high on the shelf
Slumped on the cane, yeah, I'm just protecting myself
(Protecting myself)
I'm holdin' back a million times
There it is, that familiar feeling
Now it has to change on my count
I gotta step onto the middle ground
Middle ground
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm holdin' back a million times
There it is, that familiar feeling
Now it has to change on my count
I gotta step into the middle
