Still Holdin' On For The Heart
John Fortine

[Verse 1]
You said your schedule was a wildfire
Burnin' up your every day
Answered texts between appointments
Tryna squeeze me in the breaks
I kept comin' over nightly
Wouldn't let you breathe alone
You were askin' for a moment
I was there cause you’re my home.

[Pre-Chorus]
You kept sayin' you were tired
But you smiled and let me stay
I mistook your need for quiet
For a chance to talk all day

[Chorus]
I'm still holdin on for the heart
That's still holdin onto mine
Even with this space between us
Even after all this time
You still love me, I can feel it
I still love you, that's no lie
I'm still holdin on for the heart
That's still holdin onto mine

[Verse 2]
You said, "Baby, I got no time
For the life you tried to plan
I keep losin' all my hours
Tryin' to fit inside your hands"
I was showin' up on Mondays
Fridays, Sundays, every night
You were beggin' for a weekend
Just to sit alone in quiet.

[Pre-Chorus]
If I could rewind that summer
I would listen when you'd say
"I ain't leavin' 'cause I want to
I just need my own damn space"

[Chorus]
I'm still holdin on for the heart
That's still holdin onto mine
Even with this space between us
Even after all this time
You still love me, I can feel it
I still love you, that's no lie
I'm still holdin on for the heart
That's still holdin onto mine

[Bridge]
Maybe love ain't always leanin' in
Maybe it's a porch with room
You were runnin' outta daylight
Under all my afternoons
If you ever find a free day
And my name still cross your mind
I'll be here but I won't crowd you
You can take your sweet, slow time

[Final Chorus]
I'm still holdin on for the heart
That's still holdin onto mine
With a little space between us
Maybe we can get it right
You still love me, I can feel it
I still love you, that's no lie
I'm still holdin on for the heart
That's still holdin onto mine

[Outro]
I'm still holdin on for the heart
That's still holdin onto mine
