[Verse 1]
I stood there with my hands in my coat
Couldn’t find one word to hold
She kept looking at the floor
You sat so still by the door
I came in as a man, but I felt small
When the room went quiet after all
Your tears were heavy in the air
His name was everywhere
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanted to say something true
But grief don’t ask what you can do
It just sits down and stays
And breaks the shape of your day
[Chorus]
Hold on, hold on
We’re still here
Hold on, hold on
Through the tears
Your brother, your son
Gone too soon
Hold on, hold on
I’m with you
[Verse 2]
You said his laugh still fills the hall
Like you might hear it past the wall
And she traced his face in old photographs
Like love could pull him back
I watched the hurt move through your skin
A storm that didn’t know where to end
I couldn’t fix what took him away
So I stayed and let you say
[Pre-Chorus]
What good is strength if it can’t bend
When the hardest part won’t ever end
So I let your silence breathe
And carried what you gave to me
[Chorus]
Hold on, hold on
We’re still here
Hold on, hold on
Through the tears
Your brother, your son
Gone too soon
Hold on, hold on
I’m with you
[Bridge]
And if the night comes back again
If the hurt feels like the end
I’ll be the chair you don’t have to move
The quiet place beside of you
[Chorus]
Hold on, hold on
We’re still here
Hold on, hold on
Through the tears
Your brother, your son
Gone too soon
Hold on, hold on
I’m with you
