About

The people you love are the most valuable things you could have in life .. and you only realize it when they're gone

Lyrics

Verse 1

Heavy

Keys on the counter

Dust on the photo frame

You

Cold kitchen tiles

I forgot to say it

One last time

Chorus

Hold onto the bitter

Hold onto the sweet

Keep every piece of them

Keep every messy street

You don't know the weight

Until the room goes thin

Hold onto the bitter

Hold onto the skin

Post-Chorus

Hold on

Hold on

Just hold on

Just hold on

Verse 2

Stinging

Words in the hallway

Loud and jagged and sharp

Burned

Better than silence

Better than a hollow house

Broken

Better than gone

Don't let go of the friction

The heat

The noise

Chorus

Hold onto the bitter

Hold onto the sweet

Keep every piece of them

Keep every messy street

You don't know the weight

Until the room goes thin

Hold onto the bitter

Hold onto the skin

Post-Chorus

Hold on

Hold on

Just hold on

Just hold on

Bridge

Maybe it was bad

Maybe it was cruel

But it was a pulse

It was a life

It was a person here

Now the air is empty

Now the bed is wide

Cherish the anger

Cherish the pride

Chorus

Hold onto the bitter

Hold onto the sweet

Keep every piece of them

Keep every messy street

You don't know the weight

Until the room goes thin

Hold onto the bitter

Hold onto the skin

Outro

Every bond

The good and the bad

Every bond

Don't wait until they're ghosts

Just hold on

Just hold on

The weight of the ghost

Hold on
