LYrics

[intro]
(no lyrics)
(drum loop only, very soft, brushed)
(tempo feel: slow, around 80–82 bpm)
(long pauses, space, anticipation)
(minor-centered, unresolved harmonic feel)

[verse 1]
(soft, almost spoken, low register)
(sing slightly behind the beat)
(warm minor harmonies with jazz extensions: 9ths, 13ths, maj7)
Holding back the years,
(pause)
thinking of the fear I&#039;ve had so long

When someone says your name,
(pause)
do you remember who I was?

Trying to read between the lines,
(pause)
wondering what became of you
Do you ever stop and think,
(pause)
when the past comes calling late at night?

[instrumental]
(light guitar implied, minimal bass)
(circular progression, no resolution)
(let the harmony breathe)

[verse 2]
(voice slightly more present, still restrained)
Trying to hold the tears inside,
(pause)
cause nothing here came back again
We were reckless, we were brief,
(pause)
but we knew what we were doing then

You knew about her all along,
(pause)
still we crossed that fragile line
Did our love leave anything,
(pause)
that you carried with you in your life?

[chorus]
(gentle emotional lift, mantra-like)
(no power push, no big melody)
(harmony opens slightly but never resolves)
I&#039;ll keep holding on,
(pause)
I&#039;ll keep holding on

I&#039;ll keep holding on,
(pause)
to what we were

I&#039;ll keep holding on,
(pause)
I&#039;ll keep holding on
So quiet,
(pause)
so close

[bridge]
(half-spoken, intimate, close mic)
(minimal harmony, suspended tension)
Do you hide it when you smile,
(pause)
did you build a life without my name?
Is there someone calling you home,
(pause)
who never knew where you once stood?

[verse 3]
(more fragile, breathy, emotionally exposed)
Trying to push the tears away,
(pause)
cause I know it won’t return
Still I wonder who you are,
(pause)
and if you ever think of me

If the years erased my face,
(pause)
if my voice is just a sound
I will carry you in silence,
(pause)
even if you forgot me now

[chorus]
(restrained repetition, slightly wider space)
(keep circular harmony, no emotional resolution)
I&#039;ll keep holding on,
(pause)
I&#039;ll keep holding on

I&#039;ll keep holding on,
(pause)
to what we were

I&#039;ll keep holding on,
(pause)
I&#039;ll keep holding on
So tight,
(pause)
so far

[outro]
(very soft, intimate, close mic)
(harmony dissolves without cadence)
If you want,
(pause)
the memory
(pause)
is all
(pause)
that’s left of us

[ending]
(instrumental fade)
(drums dissolve)
(harmony fades unresolved)
