Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She hides her wedding ring in drawers
Lets the flowers on the table turn to dust
Doctor said
“A year at most”
He said
“I’m busy
You’ll be fine
Just trust”
You knock and wait
Like you always do
With grocery bags and clumsy jokes in hand
She laughs too hard
Just to feel it move
That quiet ache you barely understand
[Chorus]
If love is the last one holding her hand
Not the one who signed his name in gold
Then let me be the fool who stays
When the air gets thin and the nights get cold
You were promised a heart
He just drew the plan
I’ll be here when the thunder hits the land
If love is the last one holding her hand
I’ll be the last one holding your hand
[Verse 2]
He calls you “overly attached” on the phone
Says you’re crossing all the lines he drew
But he left her with the shadows and the bills
You stayed
Learned how to make her favorite stew
She leans her head against your chest
Says
“You’re the only place I feel at peace”
You feel that line you swore you’d never cross
Start to tremble
Start to crease
[Chorus]
If love is the last one holding her hand
Not the one who wears the perfect mask
Then let me be the fool who stays
I don’t care how the neighbors ask
He gave you a promise
Then he broke and ran
I’m still here as the seasons shift the sand
If love is the last one holding her hand
I’ll be the last one holding your hand
[Bridge]
I want more than borrowed evenings (oh)
More than “thank you” in the hall
But I won’t stain your fragile breathing
With a love that makes you fall
So I just tuck the blanket corners
Kiss your hairline
Taste the salt
Whisper
“You were always worthy
None of this was ever your fault”
[Chorus]
If love is the last one holding her hand
Not the vow that shattered in the rain
Then let me be the fool who stays
Let your tears soak through my shirt
My name
He walked out of the story when it all hit the fan
I’ll sit here turning pages as long as I can
If love is the last one holding her hand
I’ll be the last one holding your hand
[Outro]
You fade like a Sunday evening
But your fingers still curl around mine
“You were my home
” you breathe so softly
And for once
That word feels right in time
