melodic rap, emotional, autotuned hook, late-night introspective vibe
Verse 1
Came in with a bruise on my chest
Still clean on the outside
I laugh in the room full of smoke
But my eyes tell the long ride
Seen names fade off my phone
Like chalk in the rain
I keep all my fears in a drawer
Next to the change
Couple real ones moved out west
Couple ghosts stayed near
I been talking to the mirror too much
Tryna make it clear
Pre-Chorus
If I call, would you pick up?
If I fall, would you stay?
I keep circling the same old block
Till it wears me away
And I know I look fine
But I don’t feel fine
Chorus
Hold me through the dark
Hold me through the dark (through the dark)
I’m still here, I’m still here
Even when I don’t talk
Hold me through the dark
Hold me through the dark (through the dark)
If you see my face go cold
Stay close, don’t walk
Verse 2
Got a suitcase full of maybes
And a heart full of cuts
Every win came with a shadow
That I had to trust
Mama said keep my head high
Even when it breaks
So I wear that little lie well
Like a watch with a scrape
Late receipts, missed calls
Salt on my tongue
I been tryna outrun the version
That I came from young
Pre-Chorus
If I call, would you pick up?
If I fall, would you stay?
I keep circling the same old block
Till it wears me away
And I know I look fine
But I don’t feel fine
Chorus
Hold me through the dark
Hold me through the dark (through the dark)
I’m still here, I’m still here
Even when I don’t talk
Hold me through the dark
Hold me through the dark (through the dark)
If you see my face go cold
Stay close, don’t walk
Bridge
Maybe I don’t need a savior
Maybe I need a hand
Maybe I just need one person
Who can understand
So if I vanish in the middle
Of a heavy night
Pull me back by my name
And I’ll come back to life
Chorus
Hold me through the dark
Hold me through the dark (through the dark)
I’m still here, I’m still here
Even when I don’t talk
Hold me through the dark
Hold me through the dark (through the dark)
If you see my face go cold
Stay close, don’t walk
