[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

Intimate piano ballad with male vocals, brushed drums, and soft strings. Verses are hushed and conversational, chorus swells with emotional lift and subtle harmonies. Bridge adds a fragile falsetto moment and a solo cello line, then the final chorus pulls back to near-whisper over sparse chords, ending on a lingering piano chord., romantic
