Laurence Fox Holding Pattern lyrics

I didn't think you'd come back
You were gone for hours
I blew out all the candles
I threw away the flowers
And now I just hold your gaze
Tears to the fore where before was rage

You put a hand on my shoulder
White knuckles grasping
I turn my face to touch you
Last time I'm asking

Hold my gaze
Face screaming slowly
To that smile you made

It's not the truth
You know that love is a fairytale
Why now run away
After your diatribe?

Come sit back down
Come take my hand
I'll shut my mouth
I need your song

Come sit back down
Come take my hand
I'll shut my mouth
I need you so

Always knew you'd go there
Before you even went there
You are a broken record
The end, the end, the end

Hold my gaze
Cold to the core
Now no love remains


It's not the truth
You know that love is a fairytale
So why now run away
After your diatribe?

Come sit back down
Come take my hand
I'll shut my mouth
I need your song

Come sit back down
Come take my hand
I'll shut my mouth
I need you

We're not moving mountains
We are a holding pattern
Only raising diamonds
Riding out a storm we may never know

Sit back down
Take my hand
I need you so

I need you so
I need you so
I need you so
I need your song
To hear you so
I need you so
I need you so
I need you so

I didn't think you'd come back
You were gone for hours
