I need you hold on

Verse

You’re lying there with the lights turned low

Machines talking louder than you do now

I’d trade my breath if it meant you’d breathe

But I’m just standing here on my knees

They say “stay strong” like I have a choice

Like I can silence this breaking voice

I smile at you like I’m okay

Then fall apart when I walk away

Chorus

I hate to see you hurting

Hate that love can’t fix it all

I would take your pain away

If I only knew how at all

I’m so helpless, so afraid

Watching you fade while I still stay

And All I can do now is pray

To God, to let you stay

Verse 2

Your smile tries to reassure me

Like you’re the one protecting me

You say “I’m fine,” but I see the fear

In every breath, in every tear

I search your face for something sure

A sign this won’t last much more

But time keeps dragging broken feet

And hope feels paper-thin and weak

Pre-C

If faith is trusting what I can’t see

Why does it feel like it’s breaking me

I believe—but I’m begging still

For a miracle beyond my will

Chorus

I hate to see you hurting

Hate that love can’t fix it all

I would take your pain away

If I only knew how at all

I’m so helpless, so afraid

Watching you fade while I still stay

And All I can do now is pray

To God, to let you stay

Bridge

If You can hear me, don’t look away

I don’t need answers—

I just need you to stay

I’m on my knees, out of control

Just please don’t ever let go,

please hold on

I need you, hold on

Final Chorus

I hate to see you hurting

Hate that love can’t fix it all

I would take your pain away

If I only knew how at all

I’m so helpless, so afraid

Watching you fade while I still stay

And All I can do now is pray

To God, to let you stay

to let you stay
