Quickstand

Britney Spears · Other Songs - Britney Spears

I still see your coat hanging on the door

Never let anybody put one there before

My pillow's got your head printed on it

Baby, of all the guys you were my favorite



Don't ask, me why

I just can't say goodbye

No, not tonight

No, I just can't say it



'Cause I'm gonna hold on, yeah I'm gonna hold on

Baby, gotta keep holding on to what we had

'Cause I don't wanna move on, so I gotta hold on



Baby, because you and me are sinking like quicksand

Like quicksand, like quicksand

Baby, because you and me are sinking like quicksand

Like quicksand, baby like quicksand

Baby, because you and me are sinking like quicksand



You came along, I didn't know of love

But now I know that sometimes it's just not enough

I hear your footsteps in my corridor

But it is just my heart, it's pounding like before



Wish I could try

But I just can't say goodbye

No, not tonight

No, I just can't say it



'Cause I'm gonna hold on, yeah I'm gonna hold on

Baby, gotta keep holding on to what we had

'Cause I don't wanna move on, so I gotta hold on



Baby, because you and me are sinking like quicksand

Like quicksand, like quicksand

Baby, because you and me are sinking like quicksand

Like quicksand, baby like quicksand

Baby, because you and me are sinking like quicksand



'Cause the ground is breaking, I can feel it shaking

Wish it was that easy, but it's not that easy

Gotta hold my hands up, gotta keep my head up

Gotta keep on breathing, baby even if we're sinking

Even if we're sinking, baby even if we're sinking

Even if we are sinking



'Cause I just-just gotta, gotta hold

(Hold)



'Cause I'm gonna hold on, yeah I'm gonna hold on

Baby, gotta keep holding on to what we had

'Cause I don't wanna move on, so I gotta hold on



Baby, because you and me are sinking like quicksand

Like quicksand, like quicksand

Baby, because you and me are sinking like quicksand

Like quicksand, baby like quicksand

Baby, because you and me are sinking like quicksand



Only got one life to live

We don't even need a piece of sand

Only you and me

We need to hold on, and hold on, and



Only got one life to live

We don't even need a piece of sand

Only you and me

We need to hold on, and hold on, and hold on

And hold on, and hold on, and hold on



And hold on, and hold on, and hold on

And hold on, and hold on, and hold on

And hold on, and hold on, and hold on
