Holding On in the Shadows

[Intro]  
In a world so bright, she hides her pain,  
A quiet storm, wrapped in rain.  
Beneath the smiles, the laugh and jest,  
She's holding on, but feeling less.  

[Verse 1]  
McKaylie's friend, with a heart so pure,  
But the sweetness fades as she endures.  
Behind the laughter, her eyes tell a tale,  
Of silent battles, where hope seems pale.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Whispers at night, the shadows creep,  
In her dreams, the memories seep.  
She's asking for help but feels so alone,  
In the dark corners, where the wild winds moan.  

[Chorus]  
Oh Zoey, don't you know you're not lost,  
Your friends are here, we'll carry that cost.  
Through the storms, we will navigate,  
In the love you give, we will liberate.  

[Verse 2]  
Back to the place with the walls so stark,  
But it’s a step, not an end to the arc.  
She hides her scars, yet they tell a view,  
A map of strength, beneath the blue.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Whispers at night, the shadows creep,  
In her dreams, the memories seep.  
She's asking for help but feels so alone,  
In the dark corners, where the wild winds moan.  

[Chorus]  
Oh Zoey, don't you kno[Intro]

[Bridge]  
So take my hand, together we’ll climb,  
Through valleys of doubt, we’ll find the rhyme.  
With every heartbeat, we’ll stand as one,  
In the light of friendship, the shadows will run.  

[Chorus]  
Oh Zoey, still the sweetest around,  
In our laughter and tears, true love will be found.  
Through every storm, we will never break,  
In the bonds we share, the darkness will shake.  

[Outro]  
So hold on tight, let the healing begin,  
The journey is long, but we’ll always win.  
With McKaylie by your side, and friends so true,  
You’re never alone, for we stand with you.
