HOLDING BACK TEARS (LIVE)

​

Boston-based R&B band Lacy Kay and The Righteous Liars release their new live single “Holding Back Tears” July 26th. The band brings in an old-school, upbeat sound as the lyrical story unfolds of being careless with love when faced with a toxic relationship."When we were good between the cheats didn't matter who cheated first"  

​

The track will be featured on Spotify as a Spotify Live track, as-well as all other music streaming platforms, and is their second of three exclusive live tracks recorded this year. Known for energetic live performances, this type of raw track is a new experience for the band, who have currently recorded two studio EPs as part of their four-volume mini-album series. Vol. I, X and Vol. II, O can be heard now on Spotify. 

​

In addition to the live track, there will be a pre-release of a live video recording on Youtube available July 22nd.

Holding Back Tears Lyrics

I lie when I say I don't know where you are

I keep an eye on both of you so you don't walk in on us

An hour late, your dinners in the microwave 

But you see red and your temper flares throwing two empty plates 

You've had your suspicions and god knows i've had mine 

But we're  both happier together when we both cross that line

Punching holes in smoked stained walls shows me you still care 

Apologize through guilty eyes we act like its not there

We revel in the make-up we forget how much it hurts 

When we were good between the cheats didn't matter who cheated first

Oh when you turn away, i'm left to linger in our desert days 

I wait till the sunrise and the fever breaks

Two of us are lying here, Im the only one holding back tears

​

You've stopped staring as I get out of the bath 

I can't say no to his attention you starve me of

You try to say you're mine completely 

But you loved me so much harder when you felt guilty for the cheating 

The unexpected knock as you're on your way to hers 

Oh, I can't hide my look of despair, the way my stomach turns

You see the mark on his neck, side glance between our eyes

You shrug and sigh, grab your beer, cuts worse than any fight

We revel in the make-up we forget how much it hurts

When we were good between the cheats didn't matter you cheated first

Oh when you turn away, i'm left to linger in our desert days 

I wait till the sunrise and the fever breaks

Two of us are lying here, Im the only one holding back tears
