Hold On, Stay

Verse 1

I know the nights feel colder than the day

I know the words I said got lost along the way

I’ve been reckless, I’ve been blind

Chasing shadows, leaving clarity behind

I see your eyes, tired and worn

A little broken, but I swear I’m torn

Every mistake, every moment I failed

Echoes like whispers where our love derailed

Pre-Chorus 1

If you’re tired of fighting, I’ll fight for you

If you’re falling apart, I’ll hold the glue

Every crack, every tear, every scar you show

I’ll take it all, I won’t let go

Chorus 1

Hold on, stay, don’t walk away

We’ve come too far to throw it away

I’ll be the shoulder, the heart, the flame

Through every storm, I’ll call your name

Hold on, stay, don’t turn to grey

I need your light to guide my way

Verse 2 (slow rap flow)

I see the silence in your eyes

The weight of years, the unspoken goodbyes

I’ve been selfish, I’ve been lost in my pride

But I’d trade a million sunsets just to have you by my side

Remember that night under city lights?

We were fearless, nothing to hide

Now it’s quiet, and the streets feel wide

But I’ll walk every mile to be where you reside

Pre-Chorus 2

If the world feels heavy, I’ll carry it with you

If the shadows close in, I’ll break them through

Every doubt, every fear, every unspoken plea

I’ll be the voice that sets you free

Chorus 2

Hold on, stay, don’t drift away

I’ll be your anchor when skies turn gray

I’ll be the heartbeat when yours skips a beat

The safe place when life feels like defeat

Hold on, stay, just breathe with me

I’ll be the light you need to see

Verse 3

Do you remember the morning in the rain?

We laughed like the world couldn’t hurt us again

You held my hand, said, “We’ll make it through”

I believed then, and I believe now too

But I’ve stumbled, let my fears speak loud

Kept my walls high, hid under the clouds

I forgot how fragile hearts can be

How much it takes just to love me

Bridge

And if I could go back, I’d change nothing but my pride

I’d stay awake through your storms, sit by your side

I’d whisper every secret I’ve been too scared to say

I’d beg you not to leave, I’d make you stay

Every laugh, every tear, every quiet night

I’d hold them closer, I’d make it right

Because love’s not perfect, but it’s ours to fight

Through darkness, through doubt, through every fright

Chorus 3 / Finale

Hold on, stay, let’s not let go

Even when the wind tries to steal our glow

I’ll be your armor, I’ll be your home

Through the unknown, you’ll never be alone

Hold on, stay, just hold my hand

I’ll meet you where the sky meets the land

Hold on, stay, don’t walk away

I’ll be the shoulder, the heart, the flame

Hold on, stay, just hold on, stay

Forever and always, I’ll find a way

Outro (spoken/soft rap interlude)

So don’t go, not tonight

Not while I’m breathing, not while I’m alive

Every crack in our story, every tear we’ve known

I’ll be here, I’ll be home

Hold on… stay…
