Title: “Don’t Let Go”
[verse]
Your silence is louder
Than anything said
I’m pacing these walls
With your voice in my head
I tried to be solid
I tried to behave
But love turned to pressure
And I started to cave
[pre-chorus]
I swallow my anger
I choke on my pride
If I don’t say this now
I’ll die here inside
[chorus]
Don’t let go
I’m hanging by a thread
I gave you the best
Of the worst of what I am
I’m no savior
I bend, I break, I bleed
Don’t let go
You’re the last thing in me
[verse]
Your eyes don’t forgive me
They just stare me down
Like I already lost you
And I’m not allowed
I carry my damage
Like it’s tattooed in bone
If love is a fight
I’ve been swinging alone
[pre-chorus]
I’m tired of silence
Disguised as control
If you walk out that door
You take half my soul
[chorus]
Don’t let go
I’m hanging by a thread
I gave you the best
Of the worst of what I am
I’m no savior
I bend, I break, I bleed
Don’t let go
You’re the last thing in me
[bridge]
Say something
[break]
me
I can take the truth
Just don’t leave me
Dying in this room
(instrumental swell, drums push, guitars roar)
[chorus]
Don’t let go
I’m begging, not proud
I’ve been screaming your name
But I can’t say it out loud
I’m no hero
I never learned how to win
Don’t let go
Don’t let this be the endIf love is a fire
I stood in the flames
If you walk away now
Say you felt the same
