Hold On, Quietly (Indie-Pop Ballad)

[Verse 1] Haven’t left the bed today Phone face down Staring at the ceiling cracks Thinking ‘bout how I let you down Cold coffee on the nightstand Sun sneaks in through the blinds Heart feels heavy as a suitcase Packed with things I never say out loud [Chorus] Hold on Quietly You don’t have to shout to be hurting You are not your worst days You are more than what you’re learning the hard way Hold on Quietly I promise there is room here for your crying You don’t have to be okay To be trying [Verse 2] Everyone says “take your time” Clock still screams Scrolling through a thousand smiles Wonder what’s so broken underneath my skin But you text “Did you eat today?” Tiny light in all this gray Guess it doesn’t take a miracle Just someone who will stay when I can’t talk [Chorus] Hold on Quietly You don’t have to shout to be hurting You are not your worst days You are more than what you’re learning the hard way Hold on Quietly I promise there is room here for your crying You don’t have to be okay To be trying [Bridge] Breathe in for four Hold for four Let it shake Let it roar inside Breathe out for four Count the floorboards Name the colors in your mind (you’re alive) [Chorus] Hold on Quietly You don’t have to shout to be hurting You are not your worst days You are more than what you’re learning the hard way Hold on Quietly I promise there is room here for your crying You don’t have to be okay To be trying (Just keep trying)
