Verse 1:
In the shadows of yesterday,
You cling to the pain,
A heart that won't let go,
While I'm drowning in the rain.
Chorus:
Hold on, let go,
Don't drown in the tide,
I’m here by your side,
But I can't turn the ride.
You’re lost in the past,
While I’m fighting to stay,
Hold on, let go,
Together, let’s find a way.
Verse 2:
Every tear that you hide,
Like a ghost from the dark,
The memories haunt your heart,
While I search for a spark.
Chorus:
Hold on, let go,
Don’t drown in the tide,
I’m here by your side,
But I can't turn the ride.
You’re lost in the past,
While I’m fighting to stay,
Hold on, let go,
Together, let’s find a way.
Bridge:
I won’t give up on you,
But your chains weigh me down,
I’m reaching out my hand,
Can’t you hear the sound?
Of a love that is waiting,
For you to break free,
Let’s rise from these ashes,
And find who we can be.
Chorus:
Hold on, let go,
Don’t drown in the tide,
I’m here by your side,
But I can't turn the ride.
You’re lost in the past,
While I’m fighting to stay,
Hold on, let go,
Together, let’s find a way.
Outro:
We’re stronger together,
If you just take my hand,
Hold on, let go,
Together, we’ll stand.

It's about a lover or loved one who can't let go or move. They dwell on the past and let I securities poison the future. I'm some who doesn't give up but doesn't dwell and I'm stuck unable to help. I don't want to end the relationship but I don't have another solution. Make the song a power ballad.
