Holding on

[Intro – quiet, tense hum] The air’s thick with unsaid words Silence cuts like broken swords [Verse 1 – tight, simmering frustration] I trace the cracks on the kitchen wall You stare at your phone like I’m not there at all Coffee’s gone cold, and the clock ticks loud We’re both holding on afraid of fading into the background [Chorus 1 – explosive, raw anger mixed with sorrow] Oh We’re two sparks in a gasoline haze Biting tongues till our words turn to blades Shattered glass silence fills the space We’re fighting hard to erase the hurt we once made But still we’re holding on… [Verse 2 – weary, resigned ache] I fold the laundry you left on the chair You flip through a book like you don’t care We used to laugh till our sides would hurt Now we just wait for the next outburst [Chorus 2 – amplified, desperate longing under rage] We’re two flames burning too close to the edge Scorching each other till our hearts start to dread Oh Shattered glass silence fills the room We’re breaking down the love that used to bloom [Bridge – vulnerable, trembling hope] I still remember the way you smiled When we walked miles just to see the tide Can we fix what we’ve torn apart Or is this the end of our fragile hearts? I don’t know but I’m still holding on… [Interlude – distorted guitar solo, building tension] [Climax – explosive, cathartic release] I scream the words I’ve held for weeks You cry the tears you’ve tried to keep We crash into each other’s arms Begging for the pain to fade and our hearts to warm [Final Chorus – softening, bittersweet acceptance] We’re two scars that will never fade But we’re still here, still trying to mend our ways Oh like Shattered glass the silence starts to bend Maybe we can learn to love again, my friend For now I know you’re still holding on… [Outro – quiet, fading resolve] The clock slows down, the air grows thin We hold on tight, so the healing can begin.. For we’ve held on to a love worth it all..
