Hold Up

Hold Up lyrics

Verse 1

1 a.m. on the floor
Thumb over that text
You liked my old photo
Now my pride got stressed

Delete it, then I don't
Delete it, then I do
I type "you good?" and laugh
Like I ain't still into you

Pre-Chorus

Hold my breath
Read it twice
Petty little heart
Big enough to lie

My finger shakes
I almost sent it
I almost meant it
I almost—

Chorus

Hold up, hold up
Hold up, hold up
(wait-wait) hold up
(ba-ba) hold up

Hold up, hold up
Hold up, hold up
(wait-wait) hold up
(ba-ba) hold up

Verse 2

That little blue glow
Got me acting brand new
I said "leave it alone"
Then I sent one line through

Now I'm staring at the screen
Like it might bite back
My own name in the dark
And I can't take that

Pre-Chorus

Hold my breath
Read it twice
Petty little heart
Big enough to lie

My finger shakes
I almost sent it
I almost meant it
I almost—

Chorus

Hold up, hold up
Hold up, hold up
(wait-wait) hold up
(ba-ba) hold up

Hold up, hold up
Hold up, hold up
(wait-wait) hold up
(ba-ba) hold up

Bridge

Voice note cuts off
Right on the word
I laugh, then I don't
Same pain, different hurt

Hold up— hold up—
I said it too late
If you don't answer
I'll blame the tape

Hold up, hold up
Hold up, hold up
(wait-wait) hold up
(ba-ba) hold up

Hold up, hold up
Hold up, hold up
(wait-wait) hold up
(ba-ba) hold up

Outro

Sent.
Now I breathe.
Then I wait.
