Hold On [Acoustic Version] Lyrics

Hold on
Hold on to every breath
And if I make it to the sunrise
Do it all over again
Do it all over again

And I'm killing myself
Just to keep alive
Killing myself to survive
Killing myself to survive

Every night, I stare this thing down
Knowing that you'll win in the end
There's blood on a rag, only dust in the bag
Thought you said you were my friend

And I'll hold on
Hold on to every breath
And if I make it to the sunrise
Do it all over again
I'll do it all over again

Now I'm killing myself
Just to keep alive
Killing myself to survive
Killing myself to survive
Killing myself to survive
I'm killing myself to survive

Now, hold on
Hold on to every breath

Every day, watch the sun go down
Telling myself a big lie
Can I say I'll go another day
Or will this be the time that I die?

And I'll hold on
Hold on to every breath
And if I make it to the sunrise
Do it all over again
Do it all over again

Killing myself just to keep alive
Killing myself to survive
Killing myself to survive
Killing myself to survive
Killing myself to survive

Hold on
Hold on to every breath
And if I make it to the sunrise
Do it all over again
Do it all over again

And I'm killing myself
Just to keep alive
Killing myself to survive
Killing myself to survive

Every night, I stare this thing down
Knowing that you'll win in the end
There's blood on a rag, only dust in the bag
Thought you said you were my friend

And I'll hold on
Hold on to every breath
And if I make it to the sunrise
Do it all over again
I'll do it all over again

Now I'm killing myself
Just to keep alive
Killing myself to survive
Killing myself to survive
Killing myself to survive
I'm killing myself to survive

Now, hold on
Hold on to every breath

Every day, watch the sun go down
Telling myself a big lie
Can I say I'll go another day
Or will this be the time that I die?

And I'll hold on
Hold on to every breath
And if I make it to the sunrise
Do it all over again
Do it all over again

Killing myself just to keep alive
Killing myself to survive
Killing myself to survive
Killing myself to survive
Killing myself to survive

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
