This emotive song captures the bittersweet experience of holding on to a first love that never truly was. It delves into the heartache and silent hopes of a push-and-pull, long-distance relationship that falls apart when commitment is sought. Despite the perfect moments shared, the fear of distance keeps true love just out of reach. Wrapped in gentle melodies and poignant lyrics, it explores themes of self-doubt, longing, and the fragile glimmer of future possibilities.
Verse 1:
We met beneath the distant stars,
A thousand miles couldn't keep us apart,
In our own world, we'd always find,
A space where hearts could intertwine.
Pre-Chorus:
We whispered dreams in late night calls,
Shared secrets as the teardrops fall,
But labels brought a heavy weight,
In fear of fate, you walked away.
Chorus:
I'm holding on, letting go,
To memories only we could know,
In another time, another place,
Will we find a love to chase?
Verse 2:
You made me feel like I belonged,
A silent song, we danced along,
But every step, a line we'd blur,
Commitment just a distant word.
Pre-Chorus:
I wonder if I was to blame,
If I were prettier, would you have stayed?
In perfect moments, doubt would creep,
In love's embrace, you'd never leap.
Chorus:
I'm holding on, letting go,
To memories only we could know,
In another time, another place,
Will we find a love to chase?
Bridge:
Our love was like a push and pull,
Close enough, yet never full,
I'd dream of futures where you’d be,
But distance kept you far from me.
Chorus:
I'm holding on, letting go,
To memories only we could know,
In another time, another place,
Will we find a love to chase?
Outro:
So here I stand, torn in between,
The past we had, the hope unseen,
A mild chance, a fragile glow,
Of holding on or letting go.

letting go of your first love who you keep going back to, who, although you weren't in a relationship, still acted like you were in one. this was a long distance relationship, you also still want to hold on to that mild chance that, maybe in the future, it may work out. hoping maybe the other person feels the same. this was a push and pull "relationship" that when you were about to make official, realized the other person didnt want to commit to a long distance relationship. everything between both of you was perfect, until you wanted to put a label on it. you begin to doubt yourself, maybe if you were prettier he wouldve stayed
