Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I left your name on the mirror
Still fogged from last night’s rain
Your coat hangs by the back door
Like it’s waiting on a train
I keep one light on for you
Like that’s ever done me good
But a chair can’t hold a promise
And I can’t hold you if I could
[Pre-Chorus]
I know the shape of goodbye
When it starts to fit your hand
I been clutching at a shadow
Trying to make it stay and stand
[Chorus]
I’m holding on
To someone not holding on
Baby, I’m holding on
To a love that’s already gone
You let go slow
Like a truck in the mud
I’m holding on
But you ain’t holding on
[Verse 2]
Your picture’s still on the dash
Dust on the frame and chrome
I pass that old gas station
Where we swore we’d build a home
Now I sleep with the window open
For a sound that never comes
Just the creak of this old porch board
And the hurt of what we’ve done
[Pre-Chorus]
I know the shape of goodbye
When it calls your name at dawn
I been reaching for a heartbeat
That was halfway gone all along
[Chorus]
I’m holding on
To someone not holding on
Baby, I’m holding on
To a love that’s already gone
You let go slow
Like a truck in the mud
I’m holding on
But you ain’t holding on
[Bridge]
If you’re gonna leave, then leave me
Don’t keep me at the gate
With my hands wrapped round a memory
And my heart too proud to break
I can hear that front door breathing
I can hear the weak boards moan
But the hardest part of losing you
Is learning to let you go
[Chorus]
I’m holding on
To someone not holding on
Baby, I’m holding on
To a love that’s already gone
You let go slow
Like a truck in the mud
I’m holding on
But you ain’t holding on
[Outro]
Holding on
To someone not holding on
Holding on
But you ain’t holding on

Style
Country-rock with a driving mid-tempo stomp, snare cracks on the backbeat, twangy electric licks over acoustic strums, and a bass line that walks hard into each downbeat; verse stays lean and story-driven, pre-chorus lifts with harmony stacks and a rising guitar figure, chorus opens wide with gang vocal answers and a sing-back hook. Male vocals, close and gritty in verses, fuller double-tracked on the hook, with short delay throws on the last word of each chorus line. Fiddle lift and cymbal swell into the final chorus; bright, punchy, radio-ready mix with a dusty edge., rock, country
