[Intro: keshi]
Movin' on, never feel the same
Nothin' seems to cover up the pain
Baby, I've been tryin' but you can't hear what I say
Baby, baby-y-y
[Chorus: Phora & keshi]
Baby I’ve been tryin', nothin' seems to cover up the pain
I’ve been tryin', holdin' on, holdin' on
Baby I’ve been tryin', nothin' seems to cover up the pain
I’ve been trying, holdin' on, holdin' on
[Verse: Phora]
Yeah, I’ve just been so numb, it feels like nothing’s real
I’ve just been so empty, I can’t fuckin’ feel
But I can feel my body start to fade
My heart is cold that’s why I’m so sick of taking all these fuckin’ pills
I don’t ever talk about it much
Drinking every day, just to escape the memories of us
You paint me as a villain, but my blood is on your brush
I was in it 'til the end, you was in it for the rush
See I’m scared of being hurt and I’m scared of getting close
'Cause the closest people to you are the ones that hurt you most
But it's hard to know your worth when everything is broke
Now I’m just drownin' in my sorrow tryin' not to fuckin' choke
The more pain you go through, the harder it feel
And the scars that we can’t see are the hardest to heal
I gave you everything, I’m just left with all of these pills
And even though I fuckin' hate you, you have part of me still
Cry for you, I promised that I'd never fuckin' cry for you
Die for you, I can’t be without you, I would die for you
Bleed for you, I do anything, I fuckin' bleed for you
Why can’t you understand? I fuckin' needed you
[Pre-Chorus: keshi]
Movin' on, never feel the same
Nothin' seems to cover up the pain
Baby, I've been tryin' but you can't hear what I say
Baby, baby-y-y
[Chorus: Phora & keshi]
Baby I’ve been tryin', nothin' seems to cover up the pain
I’ve been tryin', holdin' on, holdin' on
Baby I’ve been tryin', nothin' seems to cover up the pain
I’ve been trying, holdin' on, holdin' on
[Outro: keshi]
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Nothin' seems to cover up the pain
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Nothin' seems to cover up the pain

Phora released Holding On on Fri Mar 30 2018.
Been going thru a lot lately. This next song I’m dropping tomorrow means so much to me. I really just went in the studio and let everything out. No holding back. Been feeling a feeling I’ve never felt, hurt, destroyed, broken and trying to keep going. Really took all I had in me to record this song...
