I'm Holding Back - Sharrow Vibes
You learned my favorite songs
You learned my fears
You learned the quiet places
Where I kept my tears
You held my heart
Like something new
Like you were learning what love can do
I thought we were growing side by side
Like two lost souls learning to try
But looking back it's clear to see
You were just learning, not loving me
I was your practice love, your first attempt
The one who stayed while your heart was bent
I was your practice love, the one before
The love you'd finally give someone more
Now you love her differently I can tell
You stay without doubt, you wish her well
You fight for her in ways you never tried
When I was the one standing by your side
I was your practice love, the lesson learned
The quiet bridge before you turned
I was your practice love and now it's clear
You found forever after me here
Maybe someone else will love me right
Not halfway, not just for the night
But tonight I sit with what I knew
I was your practice love, not the one for you
