Coming in hot
Know I'm a lot
There's something I have to say
(Yeah, 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 got to) Step onto the middle ground
Ah, middle ground

My hesitation, it keeps me waiting
I get ahead, yeah I get ahead of mysеlf
(I get ahead of myself, latеly)
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 protectin' myself (Protectin' myself)

I'm holdin' back a million times
There it is, that familiar feeling
Now it has to change on my count
(I got to) Step onto the middle ground
Middle ground
I'm holdin' back a million times
There it is, that familiar feeling
Now it has to change on my count
(I got to) Step onto the middle ground
