Woman
Elderbrook Lyrics

Hold back, my woman
Asking his woman to hold back, not to leave just yet.

I've been a fool
Admitting his mistakes in the past and in his relationship.

‘Cause I've did nothing and
Acknowledging that he hasn't done much for his partner, been passive, and not very affectionate.

I forgot to love you
Admitting that he has forgotten to show his partner love and appreciation.

I will never know
Realizing that he doesn't understand his partner's perspective and feelings anymore.

How you've been doing anymore
Not knowing how his partner has been doing and feeling recently.

‘Cause you're not ready to talk yet
Respecting his partner's decision not to talk yet, even if it's difficult for him.

That's alright
Assuring his partner that it's alright not to talk yet, as he's willing to wait.

'Cause I can wait till the morning
Willing to wait for his partner to be ready to talk, even if that means waiting until the morning.

Don't you cry, cry, woman
Comforting his partner and reassuring her that they don't need tears, but instead need to have an honest conversation.

We don't need tears
Believing that tears don't solve any problems in their relationship and they need to have a conversation instead.

I'm sorry for the wrong doings
Apologizing for his past mistakes and taking responsibility for his actions.

Been a backstab beauty
Admitting that he has been deceptive or unfaithful to his partner in the past.

I'm going call you
Trying to get in touch with his partner, wanting to have a conversation and make things right.

'Cause you're not ready to talk yet
Respecting his partner's need to take some time before having a conversation and not forcing her to talk.

‘Cause I can wait till the morning
Willing to wait until the morning or until his partner is ready to have a conversation.

I've been a fool
Repeating his realization that he has made mistakes in the past and knows it.
