Hold On Tighter

Sitting in my room, head in my hands

Sunlight's peaking through the blinds again

Thought I was fine, guess I was wrong

But I've been wrong before, and still held on

I don't feel brave, I don't feel strong

Been carrying this weight for way too long

But breathing means I've made it one more time

And that's enough to try

So I'll hold on tighter when I wanna let go

Push through harder when it hurts the most

I don't see the way, but I believe somehow

That I'll make it through- I have to now

There's no back door, there's no rewind

Only forward, one more climb

When I feel like breaking, falling apart

That's when I hold on- even when it's hard

I hear the silence screaming loud

Every doubt becomes a thundercloud

But I still whisper through the noise

This won't be the end- I'll find my voice

I don't feel ready, but I'm here

And that must count for something through the fear

Breathing means I've made it one more time

And that's enough to try

So I'll hold on tighter when I wanna let go

Push through harder when it hurts the most

I don't see the way, but I believe somehow

That I'll make it through- I have to now

There's no back door, there's no rewind

Only forward, one more climb

When I feel like breaking, falling apart

That's when I hold on- even when it's hard

Maybe the cracks make room for light

Maybe the dark just means it's night

And morning always has a way

Of showing up when I least feel brave

So I'll hold on tighter when I wanna let go

Push through pain I may never show

I don't need perfect, just need breath

And I'll keep walking, step by step

There's no quitting- not this time

Only forward, one more climb

When it all feels like it's gone too far

That's when I hold on- even when it's hard
