"Hold On" lyrics

"Hold On"

Hold on
You are still strong
Love will soon come
Just hold, hold on

Oh, what have I done yet again?
Have I not learned anything?
I don't want to live in chaos
It's like a ride that I want to get off
It's hard to hold onto who I am
When I'm stumbling in the dark for a hand
I am so tired of battling with myself, with no chance to win

Hold on
Let time be patient
You are still strong
Let pain be gracious
Love will soon come
Just hold, hold on

I swear to God, I am such a mess
The harder that I try, I regress
I'm my own worst enemy
Right now I truly hate being me
Every day feels like the road I'm on
Might just open up and swallow me whole
How do I feel so mighty small
When I'm struggling to feel at all?

Just hold on (Just hold on)
Let time be patient (You)
You are still strong
Let pain be gracious (Love will soon come)
Just hold on (You, just hold on, you, just hold on), hold on (You, just hold on, just hold on)

Sometimes loneliness is the only rest we get (Just hold on, just hold on)
And the emptiness actually let's us forget (Just hold on, just hold on)
Sometimes forgiveness is easiest in secret (Just hold on, just hold on, just hold on, just hold on)

So just hold on (Just hold on)
Let time be patient (You are still strong)
Let pain be gracious
Love will soon come, baby
If you just hold on

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on (Hold on)
Just let time be patient
'Cause you're still strong, you're still strong (You are still strong)
Just be gracious
'Cause love will soon come
If you just hold on (You, just hold on, you, just just hold on, you, just hold on)
Just be patient, just be patient
(You, just hold on, you, just just hold on, you, just hold on, you, just hold on, just hold on, just hold on)

Speaking in an interview with Oprah Winfrey on the 12th of November, 2021, Adele said of this song, "My friends always would say, 'Hold on' when I would feel like the lyrics in the verse. But it was just exhausting trying to keep going with it It's a process. The process of a divorce. The process of being a single parent. The process of not seeing your child every single day—wasn't really a plan I had when I became a mom. The process of arriving for yourself every single day and showing up for yourself every single day and still running a home, still running a business so many people know what I'm talking about."
"Hold On" ends with Adele's friends singing. She explained, "The thing that they're all singing is what my friends used to say to me. That's why I wanted them to sing it, rather than an actual choir."
A snippet of this track could be heard in an Amazon holiday advertisement "Kindness, The Greatest Gift" aired on the 9th of November, 2021. The clip was described as "a story of a lonely college student whose day is brightened when a neighbor lights up her holiday season with a thoughtful gift."
