Keeping It Together (Remastered) (Remix)

[Verse 1] I wanted everything perfect, orderly, right, With rules and respect, no chaos in sight. But he laughed at my ways, dismissed my stance, Turned our life into one endless dance. He never took it seriously, our home, our name, I tried to keep him steady, to stoke the flame. But I was the burden, the nagging sound— Now I’m left holding firm, holding ground. [Chorus] So I’m keeping it together, holding on tight, Guiding my daughter through wrong and right. I’m the one with a clear, steady hand, In a world that slips like grains of sand. [Verse 2] Some call it uptight, but I call it strong, In a life that could spin out, that could go so wrong. Is it so wrong to care, to want control? When the world keeps playing this reckless role. If only he’d seen the reason, the sense, Instead of testing my patience, scaling the fence. I did what I could, I held the line— And maybe someday, he’ll see I was right, in time. [Chorus] Yes, I’m keeping it together, as best as I can, With values, tradition, a steady plan. For my daughter, my life, I won’t let it go— In a world that drifts, I’m the anchor below. [Bridge] I tried to be the one who stayed, who fought, In the world we built, with the love I sought. But life isn’t kind to the steadfast type, It favors the dreamers, the daring, the ripe. [Final Chorus] So I’m keeping it together, holding the seam, I’ll be the anchor, the cautious dream. I’ll protect my daughter, keep her near, In a world I don’t trust, I’ll hold what’s dear.
