[Intro]
She said
"Don’t let go"
Voice in my head like a brand on bone
She said
"Don’t let go"
So I claw my way up through the undertow
[Verse 1]
I been biting down steel till my teeth taste rust
Hands on the wheel, white-knuckled in the dust
Every scar that I hide keeps burning my veins
Every breath is a war between fear and the flame
[Chorus]
She said, "Don’t let go" (don’t let go)
No more pain, no more anger in your soul
Hold on, hold on, hold on
With your back on the rope, don’t fold
She said, "Don’t let go" (don’t let go)
No more pain, no more anger in your soul
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Don’t let go
[Verse 2]
I was raised on the chaos, metal in my jaw
Learned to swallow down rage, never speak what I saw
Now I’m breaking these chains with a guttural shout
All the ghosts in my chest getting dragged right out [growled]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
I been stuck in the fire, yeah, I walked through the smoke
Every name that they called me turned my lungs to choke
But her words cut clean through the noise, through the cold
"All that hurt doesn’t own you, it’s time you let it go"
[Chorus]
