If You Never Let Go

You tell your friends you’re fine

Say it’s just a phase, give it time

But you cry in the car when the silence hits

And deep down, you know this ain’t it

⸻

You keep painting cracks with the same old shade

But love don’t bloom in a fake bouquet

⸻

You’ll never know how good love gets

If you’re still stuck in almost and regrets

You’ll never feel fire, never feel free

Still making space where your heart shouldn’t be

You can’t hold on and reach for more

Can’t build forever on a closing door

The truth is, you won’t ever grow

If you never let go

⸻

You’re scared to sleep alone

But loneliness hits harder when you’re not on your own

You dress up the pain and call it love

But real love don’t leave you not enough

⸻

What if the one who sets you free

Is still out there wondering why you can’t see?

⸻

You’ll never know how good love gets

If you’re still wearing old regrets

You’ll never feel whole, never breathe deep

Still chasing a dream you were never meant to keep

You can’t fall hard till you learn to fight

For something true, for something right

The truth is, you won’t ever glow

If you never let go
