[Intro] (low pad, distant heartbeat) Yeah… I’m still here… Barely… [Verse 1] Five years deep in a wound that don’t close Same pain, just heavier to hold They’re right there but I can’t get close Yeah I see ‘em but they don’t I hear voices in my head at night Every “Dad” that used to feel right Now it echoes and it fades away Like I never had a name [Pre-Chorus] And I’m breaking slow But I don’t let it show I got too much to lose If I let it go [Chorus] I’m on the edge, don’t push me I’m barely holding on Got too much pain inside me I’ve been carrying too long So I hold them tight The ones still in my arms ‘Cause I know how it feels When it all falls apart Hold them tight… Hold them tight… Before it all goes dark [Verse 2] They say I hurt ‘em, I don’t get it I’d take a bullet, never did it Yeah I broke down, I admit it But I never crossed that limit System cold, yeah it took my life Turned my kids into someone else’s side Now they look at me like I’m a lie And I don’t know why [Pre-Chorus] Every night I replay What I could’ve done But the truth gets buried And the lies just run [Chorus] I’m on the edge, don’t push me I’m barely holding on Got too much pain inside me I’ve been carrying too long So I hold them tight The ones still in my arms ‘Cause I know how it feels When it all falls apart Hold them tight… Hold them tight… Before it all goes dark [Bridge] (stripped, almost whispered) I got two more looking up at me Like I’m everything I’m supposed to be (voice cracks) I can’t break… I can’t fall… Not in front of them at all… [Final Chorus] (heavier, emotional peak) I’M ON THE EDGE, DON’T PUSH ME I’M TRYING NOT TO LOSE MYSELF I’VE BEEN FIGHTING ALL THIS PAIN WITH NO ONE ELSE SO I HOLD THEM TIGHT WITH EVERYTHING I GOT ‘CAUSE I ALREADY LOST TOO MUCH I CAN’T LOSE WHAT’S NOT Hold them tight… Hold them tight… Or I might break apart [Outro] (fade, exhausted) I’m still here… For them… That’s all I got…
