[Verse] The kitchen light flickers, a whisper of smoke, Words stained like the glass I used to choke. Paper worn thin, edges curl and fray, Your voice in my ear, like a breaking day. [Pre-Chorus] You say, "Hold on tight, the nights ain't forever," But the clock ticks slow, and the cold feels clever. [Chorus] Read me your letter, slow and true, Dust on the lines, but I’m still with you. Chains can’t steal the words you say, Rock me steady through the gray. Read me your letter, one more time, Let your heart beat in rhythm with mine. [Verse] The road's been long, with shadows on the wall, I trace every scar, I remember the fall. Ink spills like blood on the faded page, Your voice is a song from a distant stage. [Pre-Chorus] You say, "Hold on tight, the nights ain't forever," But the silence screams like a blackened river. [Chorus] Read me your letter, slow and true, Dust on the lines, but I’m still with you. Chains can’t steal the words you say, Rock me steady through the gray. Read me your letter, one more time, Let your heart beat in rhythm with mine. [Bridge] And when the dawn cracks open the sky, I’ll keep your words where the heartbeats lie. No bars can hold what’s deep inside, Your voice is the fire, my raging tide. [Chorus] Read me your letter, slow and true, Dust on the lines, but I’m still with you. Chains can’t steal the words you say, Rock me steady through the gray. Read me your letter, one more time, Let your heart beat in rhythm with mine. [Outro] Hold on, hold on, Through every rhyme, through every line, I’m holding your hand across the miles of time.
