Hold me and let go

*Hold Me, Doubt Me*

*[INTRO]*
*[Male]*
I had a dream, I owned the sky
Woke up and still felt left behind

*[Female]*
I had a dream, I slipped the rope
Woke up still begging you for hope

*[Both]*
You never saw me fall apart
You never heard my breaking heart

*[CHORUS]*
*[Female]*
Cut me loose, I need to breathe
You don't hear what I mean
If you love me, set me free

*[Male]*
'Cause my pulse is racing fast

*[Female]*
But your trust is built on glass

*[Both]*
Don't claim me, don't blame me
I just wanna let go

*[VERSE 1]*
*[Male]*
3 AM, I'm staring at the ceiling
Your name on my screen, I'm barely breathing
I write "I miss you", then erase it all
Afraid one text will make you withdraw

*[Female]*
3 AM, I'm biting back my tears
Rehearsing sorry for your fears
I pick each word like walking on glass
One wrong sentence and you snap

*[Male]*
You text "I'm tired", I read "I'm done"
My mind reloads the loaded gun

*[Female]*
You say "I care", it sounds like "obey"
Your affection feels like a cage

*[Male]*
Why does your silence feel so cold?

*[Female]*
Why does your love feel like control?

*[PRE-CHORUS]*
*[Male]*
Am I too needy? Am I too late?
Am I just someone you tolerate?

*[Female]*
Am I too fiery? Am I too loud?
Am I the one you quiet down?

*[Male]*
Promise you won't run when I get loud

*[Female]*
Promise you won't wound me when I get loud

*[Both]*
Promise you'll love me when I doubt

*[CHORUS]*
*[Male]*
'Cause I'm addicted, I can't lie
You're my comfort, my goodbye

*[Female]*
'Cause I'm exhausted, I can't lie
You're my tempest, my goodbye

*[Male]*
When you disappear, I go blind

*[Female]*
When you explode, I go blind

*[Both]*
Re-reading texts I can't rewind
Pull me closer, don't let me go
I don't know what I know
If you love me, let me know
'Cause my heart beats fast, and my doubts beat slow
Hold me, doubt me, don't let go

*[VERSE 2]*
*[Male]*
Your laugh heals me, I'm alive again
Then you go distant, I'm back to when
I was invisible in a crowded room
Too broken, too heavy, too much gloom

*[Female]*
Your smile calms me, I'm safe again
Then your jaw tightens, I'm back to when
I was shrinking just to keep the peace
Too careful, too quiet, too scared to speak

*[Male]*
I stalk your online like a prayer
Acting unbothered, but I care

*[Female]*
I study your tone like a warning sign
Smiling outside while I die inside

*[Male]*
I'm not possessive, I'm just scared

*[Female]*
I'm not hysterical, I'm just scared

*[Both]*
Of loving someone who was never there

*[PRE-CHORUS 2]*
*[Male]*
If I was calmer, if I was light
Would you still want me through the night?

*[Female]*
If I was softer, if I was small
Would you still love me, or nothing at all?

*[Male]*
If I collapse, will you remain?

*[Female]*
If I confess, will you cause pain?

*[Both]*
Or is this where you walk away?

*[BRIDGE]*
*[Male]*
If I loosen my grip, will you return?
If I shatter, will you help me learn?

*[Female]*
If I loosen my grip, will you attack?
If I tell the truth, will you throw it back?

*[Male]*
Not asking forever, just tonight
Stay till my shadows lose the fight

*[Female]*
Not asking forever, just tonight
Let me feel protected, not a fight
