Lyrics of hold still by Mark Tuan
[Chorus]
You Should Have Told Me Hold Still While You Aimed
‘Cause Now I Lay In My Heart Break
You Should Have Told Me Hold Still While You Aimed
‘Cause Now I Taste Blood On Your Name
[Verse 1]
I Would Have Done It For You
Take A Loaded Gun To My Name
I Would Have Done It For You
But Never Thought That You Would Aim
And Be The One You’d Shoot
That You Would Send A Bullet Through, Eh
[Chorus]
You Should Have Told Me Hold Still While You Aimed
‘Cause Now I Lay In My Heart Break
You Should Have Told Me Hold Still While You Aimed
‘Cause Now I Taste Blood On Your Name
[Verse 2]
Lost My Mind When You Pull That Trigger
Spill My Blood On The Ground Like Liquor
2 Am And I’m In A Bad Way
2 Am, All I See Is Your Face
Washing Through Me, Water In The Sea
Washing Through Me, Spilling In The Streets
You Know, I Never Thought That You Would Aim
And Be The One You Choose
That You Would Send A Bullet Through, Eh
[Chorus]
You Should Have Told Me Hold Still While You Aimed
‘Cause Now I Lay In My Heart Break
You Should Have Told Me Hold Still While You Aimed
‘Cause Now I Taste Blood On Your Name
[Post-Chorus]
You Should Have Told Me What You Were About To Do
I Wouldn’t Hesitate To Take The Shot From You From You
And You Should Have Told Me Hold Still While You Aim While
‘Cause Now I Lay My Heart Break
[Outro]
You Should’ve
