Holdin' On
A soulful alt-country track led by warm southern male vocals and twangy electric guitar riffs, Verses ride on brushed drums, earthy bass, and gentle acoustic strumming, The chorus swells with layered harmonies, organ, and lap steel, A bridge features bluesy guitar licks before a dynamic final chorus

[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
I saw that look in your eye,
When you saw him walk by.
I could almost hear you pray,
That he might look your way.
Then even though you know I'm here,
I saw you wipe away a tear,
And then you laughed and tried to smile,
But that hurt's been there awhile.
[Chorus]
I wish that you could only see,
How better things could be with me.
I know you both shared a past,
But it wasn't made to last.
Girl, you still keep holdin' on,
To a love that's already gone.
I wish you'd hold me now and then,
The way you're holdin' on to him.
[Verse 2]
I know you text him late at night,
I feel the glow of your screen's light.
Don't need to open up my eyes,
'Cause I can hear your heavy sighs.
When you say it, I know it's true,
But my love ain't enough for you,
And even though you try to grin,
You're still lost in what might have been.
[Chorus]
I wish that you could only see,
How better things could be with me.
I know you both shared a past,
But it wasn't made to last.
Girl, you still keep holdin' on,
To a love that's already gone.
I wish you'd hold me now and then,
The way you're holdin' on to him.
[Bridge]
I wish that you could let him go,
But 'til then, I hope you know,
I'm gonna do all that I can,
To make you see that I'm you're man.
[Chorus]
I wish that you could only see,
How better things could be with me.
I know you both shared a past,
But it wasn't made to last.
Girl, you still keep holdin' on,
To a love that's already gone.
I wish you'd hold me now and then,
The way you're holdin' on to him.
