Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We made plans in coffee cups
Sketched our names in crooked hearts
You said
"This is it
We’re us"
Now I’m staring at the dark
Your toothbrush still by the sink
But your eyes feel miles away
I joke
You don’t even blink
I keep begging you to stay
[Chorus]
I’m holdin’ on for dear life
Knuckles white around your ghost
This ain’t the love that we dreamed
It’s the one that hurts the most
You are my heart
My only home
But I feel you slippin’ slow
I’m so afraid of lettin’ go of you
Afraid you’ll love someone I don’t know
[Verse 2]
I rewind our kitchen fights
Frozen plates and frozen smiles
You said
"Baby
We’ll be fine"
I believed it for a while
Now your phone lights up at night
And you turn the screen away
Tell me
Who is in your life
That you can’t let see my face?
[Chorus]
I’m holdin’ on for dear life
Knuckles white around your ghost
This ain’t the love that we dreamed
It’s the one that hurts the most
You are my heart
My only home
But I feel you slippin’ slow
I’m so afraid of lettin’ go of you
Afraid you’ll love someone I don’t know
[Bridge]
If I loosen my grip
Do you fall
Or do you fly? (oh)
If I finally set you free
Do I save us
Or just die inside?
Tell me
Did we ever stand a chance
Or did we crack from the start?
’Cause losing you to anyone
Feels like losing my own heart
[Chorus]
I’m holdin’ on for dear life
Knuckles white around your ghost
This ain’t the love that we dreamed
It’s the one that hurts the most
You are my heart
My only home
But I feel you slippin’ slow
I’m so afraid of lettin’ go of you
Afraid you’ll love someone I don’t know
[Outro]
You are my heart
You are my hurt
I’m holdin’ on
For all it’s worth

Why was our love story so far from what we dreamed, we felt perfect, but now I hold on for dear life, afraid of letting go of you, afraid I'll lose you to someone else, you are my heart, blues, pop
