Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I left your name on the mirror

Still fogged from last night’s rain

Your coat hangs by the back door

Like it’s waiting on a train

I keep one light on for you

Like that’s ever done me good

But a chair can’t hold a promise

And I can’t hold you if I could

[Pre-Chorus]

I know the shape of goodbye

When it starts to fit your hand

I been clutching at a shadow

Trying to make it stay and stand

[Chorus]

I’m holding on

To someone not holding on

Baby, I’m holding on

To a love that’s already gone

You let go slow

Like a truck in the mud

I’m holding on

But you ain’t holding on

[Verse 2]

Your picture’s still on the dash

Dust on the frame and chrome

I pass that old gas station

Where we swore we’d build a home

Now I sleep with the window open

For a sound that never comes

Just the creak of this old porch board

And the hurt of what we’ve done

[Pre-Chorus]

I know the shape of goodbye

When it calls your name at dawn

I been reaching for a heartbeat

That was halfway gone all along

[Chorus]

I’m holding on

To someone not holding on

Baby, I’m holding on

To a love that’s already gone

You let go slow

Like a truck in the mud

I’m holding on

But you ain’t holding on

[Bridge]

If you’re gonna leave, then leave me

Don’t keep me at the gate

With my hands wrapped round a memory

And my heart too proud to break

I can hear that front door breathing

I can hear the weak boards moan

But the hardest part of losing you

Is learning to let you go

[Chorus]

I’m holding on

To someone not holding on

Baby, I’m holding on

To a love that’s already gone

You let go slow

Like a truck in the mud

I’m holding on

But you ain’t holding on

[Outro]

Holding on

To someone not holding on

Holding on

But you ain’t holding on
