Artist's Description
Some Moments Are Held, Not Fixed is a deeply emotional grief song written from a quote my brother sent me after the loss of his son.

It speaks to the kind of grief that does not need advice, timelines, or fixing. The kind of love that stays, even when the person is gone.

This song is for anyone who has been told to “be strong” when what they really needed was permission to hold the moment, the memory, the love. It reflects the quiet reality of loss, the sacred ache, and the faith that can exist alongside heartbreak.

Tender, honest, and reverent, this song honors grief as love that has changed shape, not disappeared. It reminds listeners that healing does not always mean moving on. Sometimes it means holding what mattered and learning how to live with love left behind.

Perfect for tribute videos, memorials, grief projects, or anyone walking through loss who needs to feel seen, understood, and not rushed.

Verse 1

They tell me, “Just be strong,” like strength is all I need,
Like grief’s a broken thing that time will set free.
They mean well, I know they do, but they don’t understand,
This kind of hurt ain’t something anyone can mend.

I’ve learned there are some losses
No advice can make right,
Some prayers are whispered
Through the longest nights.

Pre-Chorus

So if you see me quiet,
If you see me still,
It’s not me giving up…
It’s me holding on to him.

Chorus

Some moments are held, not fixed,
No one can patch a shattered heart like this.
I sit with my memories of you,
And the tears and the smiles become one truth.
I’m not stuck, I’m just learning to live
With what love left behind when you left.
Some moments are held… not fixed.

Verse 2

I hold your jacket close like it still knows your shape,
Like if I breathe you in, I can rewind the days.
And sometimes I laugh at the things you used to say,
Then I cry so hard it feels like I can’t stay.

But even in the ache there’s a holy kind of proof,
That love don’t disappear…
It just changes how it moves.

Pre-Chorus

And if you ask me why I don’t “move on” from this,
It’s because you don’t move on
From someone you miss.

Chorus

Some moments are held, not fixed,
No one can patch a shattered heart like this.
I sit with my memories of you,
And the tears and the smiles become one truth.
I’m not stuck, I’m just learning to live
With what love left behind when you left.
Some moments are held… not fixed.

Bridge

And I’ve heard folks say, “God will take the pain away,”
But maybe He’s not rushing it
Because love don’t rush away.

Maybe healing isn’t hiding all the hurt,
Maybe healing is letting my heart break
And still trusting His Word.

Cause God is near the broken,
He collects every tear…
And in the silence
You’re still here.

Final Chorus (bigger)

Some moments are held, not fixed,
And God don’t shame the ones who can’t forget.
I sit with my memories of you,
And the tears and the smiles become worship too.
And when the world keeps trying to pull me ahead,
I stay still long enough to feel love in it.
Some moments are held… not fixed…
This is love… still.
