Britney Spears - Quicksand Lyrics

Artist: Britney Spears

Album: Circus

  • Songwriters: Fernando Garibay, Stefani J Germanotta

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

    i can relate to this..

    i have to go and say goodbye but...
    though we'll be apart for a while, im gonna hold on.

    I love this song and it's so perfect. I'm in the same situation in my life right now, I want to say goodbye, but my friends keep wondering why I still hold on. The one thing I'd need is some close person for me to say 'I understand, I get it, we'll get through this'.. but no. It doesn't go like that for me.
