My Heart Keeps Holding On

[00:26.98] We met at a housewarming, the vibe was dry
[00:29.79] About to leave, you say, "Oh you're that poetry guy!"
[00:33.05] I laughed, we sit and talk for hours unflawed
[00:36.54] From that begat a Friend and Princess of God
[00:39.44] Victory is your name; it's all in your character
[00:42.84] The story written in heaven voiced by God the narrator
[00:46.04] We're Angels to each other, you're my Honey, I'm your Earth
[00:48.98] Felt like we're twins, reunited, separated at birth
[00:52.34] In the midst of this bliss, the drama hit
[00:55.21] Plans begin to change, deviating off script
[00:58.37] I'm fighting for my career, you your life - both trying to survive
[01:01.92] We're butting heads, but holding hands until we thrive
[01:05.03] We're codependent, got me feeling like a codefendant
[01:08.44] Trying to make it work but feels like the closeness different
[01:11.27] At the fork in the road had to let go of your hand
[01:14.47] Haunted by memories as you embrace another man
[01:18.79] I'm tryin' to let go
[01:20.58] Of relationships ending
[01:22.32] Hatin' the stress that it brings
[01:25.12] I'm losing control
[01:27.48] Setting boundaries
[01:28.78] An impossible feat
[01:30.30] 'Cuz my heart keeps holding on
[01:33.60] My heart keeps holding on
[01:36.86] My heart keeps holding on
[01:39.43] Holding on, holding on
[01:43.46] You hit me over IG, then we met at a diner
[01:46.12] Reintroduction, knew you from college fifteen years prior
[01:49.45] Your body's crazy, tryin' not to stare, Devil's a liar
[01:52.85] I'd soon see your beauty's more than your outer attire
[01:55.78] We hung out all over NYC and NC
[01:58.97] I was enchanted by your smile and laughter immensely
[02:02.26] Your spirit so free, heart carefree plus you cared for me
[02:05.87] Your presence a hospital, spiritual therapy
[02:09.17] I'm wishing we're together, but my heart's not ready
[02:11.72] You want it too but still see I'm hurt; your thoughts not steady
[02:15.01] I want a chance but understand it's bad timing
[02:18.35] You find someone else while I'm still climbing
[02:21.74] I'm sad, not mad, you became one of my best friends
[02:24.68] Your advice, you were right, my heart needed a cleanse
[02:27.46] You're my incense, pretty ten pence, coaching den in
[02:30.99] Your living room a living room of peace - I'll miss it
[02:35.02] I'm tryin' to let go
[02:36.88] Of relationships ending
[02:38.53] Hatin' the stress that it brings
[02:41.28] I'm losing control
[02:43.75] Setting boundaries
[02:44.93] An impossible feat
[02:46.67] 'Cuz my heart keeps holding on
[02:49.97] My heart keeps holding on
[02:53.15] My heart keeps holding on
[02:55.66] Holding on, holding on
[02:59.46] Over Facebook, my cousin was wilding
[03:03.15] She sees a couple; we both think it's childish
[03:06.26] Got an invite, see you're a playwright
[03:09.42] I decide for insight to attend the same night
[03:12.79] We talk, then your play's on - I sit and listen
[03:15.53] Through the actors I see your soul shine and glisten
[03:19.15] Months later you ask if I like you
[03:22.14] Through Messenger, I reply I'd like to
[03:25.48] I think you're attractive, intelligent
[03:28.53] Have to get to know you to settle it
[03:31.72] Through calls and dates trying to find a mate
[03:34.84] I hesitate to seal divine fate
[03:38.10] After awhile I sensed your frustration
[03:40.88] You backed away - I'm ashamed of my relations
[03:44.67] You're the livest one from Bedford-Stuyvesant
[03:47.32] A black diamond from Sierra Leone - I'm so dumb
[03:51.33] I'm tryin' to let go
[03:53.12] Of relationships ending
[03:54.91] Hatin' the stress that it brings
[03:57.69] I'm losing control
[04:00.01] Setting boundaries
[04:01.23] An impossible feat
[04:02.87] 'Cuz my heart keeps holding on
[04:06.25] My heart keeps holding on
[04:09.42] My heart keeps holding on
[04:11.92] Holding on, holding on
[04:16.78] I'm tryin' to let go
[04:18.59] Of relationships ending
[04:20.30] Hatin' the stress that it brings
[04:23.03] I'm losing control
[04:25.46] Setting boundaries
[04:26.76] An impossible feat
[04:28.39] 'Cuz my heart keeps holding on
[04:31.72] My heart keeps holding on
[04:34.88] My heart keeps holding on
[04:37.38] Holding on, holding on
[04:42.16] I'm tryin' to let go
[04:43.93] Of relationships ending
[04:45.73] Hatin' the stress that it brings
[04:48.44] I'm losing control
[04:50.87] Setting boundaries
[04:52.15] An impossible feat
[04:53.79] 'Cuz my heart keeps holding on
[04:57.18] My heart keeps holding on
[05:00.33] My heart keeps holding on
[05:02.86] Holding on, holding on
[05:07.90] You know, we live, and we love
[05:11.37] We get hurt, and we hurt
[05:14.38] And then we do the same thing over and over again
[05:18.11] Sometimes it works out
[05:20.27] Sometimes it doesn't
[05:22.71] But just trust the process
[05:25.15] Don't be afraid to love again
[05:27.04] Learn - I did
[05:29.45] And I found my queen
[05:32.07]
