[Verse 1]
I been foldin' up my pain like a letter
Keep it in my hoodie, but it gets heavy
Mama said, "Boy, you gotta hold your head up"
I smiled like I heard it, but my eyes said maybe
Old texts still burn in my phone like embers
Names in the dark I can't seem to forget
I'm too tired to fight with the ghost in my room now
So I let it sit there and I let it
[Pre-Chorus]
If I fall, will you catch me?
If I break, will you let me?
I been runnin' on empty
Still I sing when you text me
[Chorus]
Don't let go of me (don't let go)
I'm still tryna grow
Don't let go of me (don't let go)
When the whole world gets cold
Hold my name, hold it close
Like a light in the smoke
Don't let go of me (don't let go)
I'm still tryna grow
[Verse 2]
Weekend rain on the glass like a warning
I stared at my reflection, looked older
I been good at frontin' like I'm sturdy
But the cracks in my smile keep gettin' bolder
You said, "Take your time, I can wait for you"
That line hit hard like a hand on my chest
So I kept one eye on the door of tomorrow
And one hand on the things I love best
[Pre-Chorus]
If I fall, will you catch me?
If I break, will you let me?
I been runnin' on empty
Still I sing when you text me
[Chorus]
Don't let go of me (don't let go)
I'm still tryna grow
Don't let go of me (don't let go)
When the whole world gets cold
Hold my name, hold it close
Like a light in the smoke
Don't let go of me (don't let go)
I'm still tryna grow
[Bridge]
If I wake up changed, stay near me
If I get too numb, remind me
I don't need forever tonight
Just your voice on the line
And if my heart gets loud
When the room goes quiet
Stay with me now
Stay with me now
[Chorus]
Don't let go of me (don't let go)
I'm still tryna grow
Don't let go of me (don't let go)
When the whole world gets cold
Hold my name, hold it close
Like a light in the smoke
Don't let go of me (don't let go)
I'm still tryna grow
