“Don’t Let Go” is a song we wrote to express a situation no one can ever be prepared for; the loss of a friend to suicide. The song carries a sad tone while retaining an upbeat feel which translates the shock and disbelief we faced with after hearing the news. Our purpose of the song was to encourage people to lend a helping hand to those who need it. We wanted to emphasize that everyone matters and there will be a brighter day.
lyrics
We don't know where we're going, we only know where we've been
It's like the rivers are flowing high and we just dive in
(We just dive in)
The bigger you dream, the higher you fly
From under your wings, you're keeping us blind
We can't see through the other side
You fall so far when you're up so high
I hope your in a better place cus' I'm running away from the thought of missing you
It didn't have to be this way, my mind's hanging on moments, wishing it wasn't true
Memories lie in the break of the moment
Your disguise leaves us wishing we only knew
Clueless from what was known
Speechless from what I'm told
Hold my breath cus' I'm paralyzed
Is this a dream or is this real life
The times we shared flashed before my eyes
Replaying over and over again
I hope you're in a better place cus' I'm running away from the thought of missing you
It didn't have to be this way, my mind's hanging on moments, wishing it wasn't true
Memories lie in the break of the moment
Your disguise leaves us wishing we only knew
You act like its nothing but what's in your head saying just let go
Just hold on longer, don't tell me it's over, just come back home.
Come back home
Don't let go
Come back home
Don't let go
Come back home
Don't let go
Come back home
Don't let go
