All You Do Is Say

lyrics

VERSE 1

Never mind what’s been said, you took up too much room in my bed
I gave you all the sheets but you left the best part out
Never mind what’s been done, I took the bullets out of your gun
You gave me all the power and I blew your heart out

Never mind, what’s the use? I’m sick of all the lies and you’re sick of the truth
If I gave you the choice you would take the wrong way out
Stay here in your Disneyland- I’ll grow up and you’ll grow down
I don’t want inheritance of your lacklustre crown

CHORUS

All you say is that you want to hold me but all you do is just hold me back
All you say is that you bring me all I need but all you bring me is down to my knees

VERSE 2

I had a hundred thousand dreams and every single one, it seems,
Ends up broken in your hands
Building my ladder to the sky, always aiming up so high
Never featured in your plans
If you catch a butterfly and hold it in your hands so tight,
It still won’t grow to love your palm
So please release me from your grip, please un-join me from your hip
Before you go and do me further harm

CHORUS

All you say is that you want to hold me but all you do is just hold me back
All you say is that you bring me all I need but all you bring me is down to my knees

VERSE 3

Look at us now the table’s turned - I got free and you got burned
Now you’re gonna have trouble working this one out
Your shirt is too big for me – I never could wear my heart on my sleeve
I’m ripping it off because I just cannot carry all your doubt

All you say is that you want to hold me but all you do is just hold me back
All you say is that you bring me all I need but all you bring me is down to my knees
All you say is that you want to hold me but all you do is just hold me back
All you say is that you bring me all I need but all you bring me is down to my knees

Abi Moore UK

Americana / Roots-Rock artist from Nottingham. Abi's 4th studio album No More Chasing marks a raucous return after 10 years.

"Impactful, gritty, & above all, brimming with conviction. Abi's stripped back, stomp 'n' holler sound instantly took us to KT Tunstall, while her rootsy, distorted Americana guitar twangs have a delicious White Stripes flavour." RCM ... more
