Hold Me Close

[SECTION: PRE-INTRO]  
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  

[SECTION: VERSE 1]  
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  

[SECTION: VERSE 2]  
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  

[SECTION: PRE-CHORUS]  
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  

[SECTION: CHORUS]  
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  

[SECTION: VERSE 3]  
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  

[SECTION: BRIDGE]  
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  

[SECTION: FINAL CHORUS]  
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  

[SECTION: OUTRO]  
Breathing heavy, but I’m still here  
Reaching out, holding tight, wiping the fear  
Together, better, still alive
