[Verse 1]
I started out on the wrong foot
Now I'm not myself
I am Jekyll, I am Hyde
Found this place to hide
Come seek me

Oh, so up and down
So back and forth
So insecure
Can't get this taste out of my mouth
Swallow it down
Pretend

[Chorus]
Hold it, hold it all in
Let it build up
Build a bomb
Blow it, blow it away
Clear it all out
Just end it

[Verse 2]
I'm just a normal person
Without those problems
When did it change?
Admissions so embarrassing
I'm on the verge of tears again

[Chorus]
Hold it, hold it all in
Let it build up
Build a bomb
Blow it, blow it away
Clear it all out
Just end it

[Verse 3]
Oh look I took the Band-Aid off
Did I take it off too soon?
Hysterical confession
My big courageous move

Don't gasp at the predictable
A comforting lie can't last
Preordained checklist of this awkward love
It's so sad

[Chorus]
Hold it, hold it all in
Let it build up
Build a bomb
Blow it, blow it away
Clear it all out
Just end it

[Verse 4]
Sort it, sort it out
Just give it back
No thank you
Toss it, toss it away
Eliminate
Just give up

[Outro]
I can't decide
This tug of war
I'm feeling weak

No Doubt

No Doubt formed in Anaheim, California in 1986. They have created a decade-defining style and have arguably become one of the most recognized bands of their time. The band has consisted of vocalist and frontwoman Gwen Stefani, guitarist Tom Dumont, bassist Tony Kanal, and drummer Adrian Young, as well as several former members—including Gwen’s older brother Eric Stefani.

They found mainstream success following the release of their third studio album Tragic Kingdom in late 1995. It eventually landed at the top of the Billboard charts in 1996, and has sold over 8 million copies as of 2012.
