Verse 1 (Rap)
I’ve been fightin’ wars nobody ever got to see,
Wearin’ fake smiles while I’m drownin’ underneath.
Everybody tellin’ me, “You’ll be alright,”
But they ain’t wide awake livin’ every damn night.
Got these scars where the sunshine don’t reach,
Still preach hope while I’m barely holdin’ peace.
If I fall, would you catch me or just watch?
Or would you leave my ass right here to fuckin’ rot?
I’m tired of pretendin’ that I’m built to never break,
Carryin’ the weight while my soul begins to shake.
I’m screamin’ on the inside, but the outside stays still,
Tryna outrun the hurt, but this shit follows me still.
Pre-Chorus (R&B)
I’m one breath from breakin’,
One touch from believin’.
If my world starts shakin’,
Don’t stop reachin’.
Don’t let go…
Don’t let me disappear.
Chorus (R&B)
Hold on to me…
When my hands can’t hold myself.
Love me through the silence,
When I don’t ask for help.
If the light inside me fades,
Promise you won’t walk away.
When I’m losin’ all control…
Hold on… hold on to me.
When my faith is hangin’ by a thread,
When these voices fuck with my head,
Don’t let me drown inside my pain—
Remind me I’ll breathe again.
Verse 2 (Rap)
I’ve lost people through the years, and that pain don’t heal,
Losing someone hurts like hell—that shit is real.
Every empty chair still echoes through my mind,
Some days I swear I’m still somewhere back in time.
I know I push away the ones that love me most,
Tryna hide these demons underneath this coat.
Mama said, “Keep your faith,” I still hear her voice,
But pain gets loud enough to drown out every choice.
Every step feels heavier than yesterday,
Still I’m prayin’ there’s another better way.
If my heart quits singin’, don’t sing goodbye,
Be the reason I remember how to fight.
‘Cause grief don’t knock—it kicks the whole damn door,
Leaves pieces of your heart scattered on the floor.
Life don’t give a fuck who’s ready for the pain,
It just keeps swingin’ till you’re standin’ in the rain.
Still I’m standin’, even when I can’t see,
Hopin’ somebody’s still holdin’ on to me.
Bridge (R&B / Choir Build)
Even when I’m shattered…
Even when I’m weak…
You remind my soul…
There’s still life in me…
When the tears won’t stop fallin’,
When my knees hit the ground,
Be the voice that keeps callin’
When I can’t hear a sound.
Don’t let me drift away…
Don’t let me fade away…
Stay…
Final Chorus
Hold on to me…
When my world is fallin’ down.
Be the steady heartbeat
When I can’t hear a sound.
If tomorrow never looks
Like the dreams we used to see,
Till I find myself again…
Please… hold on to me.
Hold on to me…
When my faith begins to fade.
When I’m tired of bein’ strong,
Don’t let my hope slip away.
Through every tear… every memory…
Through every sleepless night…
Love me till I find the sunrise,
Lead me back into the light.
Hold on to me…
Even when I’m hard to love.
Even when I lose myself.
Don’t give up.
Don’t give up on me.
Outro
I ain’t askin’ you to fix me…
So if you love me…
Hold on to me.
