H-004 Holding On to Yesterday

By The Lyrical Luminary
[Verse 1]
I drove past our old street, headlights in the rain
Each puddle mirrored memories, dancing in the pain
Your voice still lingers on the corners of my mind
Even though I know that road was left behind

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been carrying your shadow like a photograph in my hand
Wondering how to turn the page when I don’t know where I stand

[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m holding on to yesterday,
Stuck where the sunlight fades away
I can’t let the moments slip, but I know I have to try
To break these chains and say goodbye—
Still I’m holding on to yesterday

[Verse 2]
I kept your favorite record spinning ‘til the groove ran thin
Each lyric felt like you were whispering words beneath my skin
I’ve circled every memory, afraid to let it go
‘Cause letting go feels like losing everything I know

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been tracing faded photographs, searching for a sign
How do I release the past when I can’t leave you behind?

[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m holding on to yesterday,
Stuck where the sunlight fades away
I can’t let the moments slip, but I know I have to try
To break these chains and say goodbye—
Still I’m holding on to yesterday

[Bridge]
Maybe freedom waits beyond these walls I built inside
Maybe peace will find me when I swallow up my pride
I can’t keep living on echoes of what used to be
But my heart keeps pulling back to what I used to see

[Chorus (Extended)]
‘Cause I’m holding on to yesterday,
Stuck where the sunlight fades away
I can’t let the moments slip, but I know I have to try
To break these chains and say goodbye—
Still I’m holding on to yesterday

[Outro]
And when the dawn breaks new, I’ll learn to breathe again
One step beyond this memory, I’ll find where I begin
But here tonight, I whisper soft, as tears fall quietly—
I’m holding on to yesterday.
