Hold It In

Hold It In

Do you remember
When you were last happy?
The last time you felt really good?
Was it with a stranger?
Was it with a lover?
Did you touch them just because you could?

I must not cry
I must not shout
I must not laugh
Got to hold it in

Well I ripped my stomach
When I was lifting
I did it many years ago
And now when I cry out
I feel it ripping
I feel my insides letting go

I must not protest
I must not argue
I must not care
Got to hold it in
