Hold Me Close

Shadows creeping, pulling me away

I’m holding on, but it feels like nothing’s sticking

Every step I take just drives me further

And I’m screaming inside, trying not to falter

I reach for you, but you’re slipping fast

Walls closing in, I wonder if we’ll last

I scream your name, the silence fights back

Every heartbeat drags me down this track

I feel the pull, tearing at my chest

I’m trying, I swear, but it’s like I’m drowning

Every move I make, the space keeps growing

And I’m wondering if you’re still knowing

Every fight, every silence, cuts deep

Every lie I tell myself, I can’t keep

I feel the distance in my chest

And yet I can’t give up, I can’t rest

Hold me close, don’t let me go

I’m still here, can’t you feel it though?

Even when the world’s pushing us apart

We’ll stitch back together every breaking heart

I see your hand, reaching for mine

I’ve felt your pull, I know we’ll be fine

The walls aren’t as tall, the dark isn’t as deep

I’m finding the pieces we swore we’d keep

Step by step, the space starts to fade

Every fear I had slowly starts to cave

The nights were long, but I held on

The doubts were loud, but I stayed strong

Nothing can drag me back into the dark

I’m finding my way, igniting the spark

Hold me close, don’t let me go

I’m here, can’t you feel it though?

Even when the world’s trying to pull us apart

I’ll stitch back together every breaking heart

I rise, I shine, stronger than before

Nothing can break what I’ve restored

Breathing heavy, but I’m still here

Reaching out, holding tight, wiping the fear

Together, better, still alive
