My Heart Keeps Holding On (feat. Luke Simmons)

We met at a housewarming, the vibe was dry
About to leave, you say, "Oh you're that poetry guy!"
I laughed, we sit and talk for hours unflawed
From that begat a Friend and Princess of God
Victory is your name; it's all in your character
The story written in heaven voiced by God the narrator
We're Angels to each other, you're my Honey, I'm your Earth
Felt like we're twins, reunited, separated at birth
In the midst of this bliss, the drama hit
Plans begin to change, deviating off script
I'm fighting for my career, you your life - both trying to survive
We're butting heads, but holding hands until we thrive
We're codependent, got me feeling like a codefendant
Trying to make it work but feels like the closeness different
At the fork in the road had to let go of your hand
Haunted by memories as you embrace another man

I'm tryin' to let go
Of relationships ending
Hatin' the stress that it brings
I'm losing control
Setting boundaries
An impossible feat
'Cuz my heart keeps holding on
My heart keeps holding on
My heart keeps holding on
Holding on, holding on

You hit me over IG, then we met at a diner
Reintroduction, knew you from college fifteen years prior
Your body's crazy, tryin' not to stare, Devil's a liar
I'd soon see your beauty's more than your outer attire
We hung out all over NYC and NC
I was enchanted by your smile and laughter immensely
Your spirit so free, heart carefree plus you cared for me
Your presence a hospital, spiritual therapy
I'm wishing we're together, but my heart's not ready
You want it too but still see I'm hurt; your thoughts not steady
I want a chance but understand it's bad timing
You find someone else while I'm still climbing
I'm sad, not mad, you became one of my best friends
Your advice, you were right, my heart needed a cleanse
You're my incense, pretty ten pence, coaching den in
Your living room a living room of peace - I'll miss it

I'm tryin' to let go
Of relationships ending
Hatin' the stress that it brings
I'm losing control
Setting boundaries
An impossible feat
'Cuz my heart keeps holding on
My heart keeps holding on
My heart keeps holding on
Holding on, holding on

Over Facebook, my cousin was wilding
She sees a couple; we both think it's childish
Got an invite, see you're a playwright
I decide for insight to attend the same night
We talk, then your play's on - I sit and listen
Through the actors I see your soul shine and glisten
Months later you ask if I like you
Through Messenger, I reply I'd like to
I think you're attractive, intelligent
Have to get to know you to settle it
Through calls and dates trying to find a mate
I hesitate to seal divine fate
After awhile I sensed your frustration
You backed away - I'm ashamed of my relations
You're the livest one from Bedford-Stuyvesant
A black diamond from Sierra Leone - I'm so dumb

I'm tryin' to let go
Of relationships ending
Hatin' the stress that it brings
I'm losing control
Setting boundaries
An impossible feat
'Cuz my heart keeps holding on
My heart keeps holding on
My heart keeps holding on
Holding on, holding on
I'm tryin' to let go
Of relationships ending
Hatin' the stress that it brings
I'm losing control
Setting boundaries
An impossible feat
'Cuz my heart keeps holding on
My heart keeps holding on
My heart keeps holding on
Holding on, holding on
I'm tryin' to let go
Of relationships ending
Hatin' the stress that it brings
I'm losing control
Setting boundaries
An impossible feat
'Cuz my heart keeps holding on
My heart keeps holding on
My heart keeps holding on
Holding on, holding on

You know, we live, and we love
We get hurt, and we hurt
And then we do the same thing over and over again
Sometimes it works out
Sometimes it doesn't
But just trust the process
Don't be afraid to love again
Learn - I did
And I found my queen
