Just Hold Me
Maria Mena Lyrics

Comfortable as I am
I may seem confident, but I still need your support and validation.

I need your reassurance
I depend on you to make me feel secure in our relationship.

And comfortable as you are
You seem at ease, but you still keep track of how long it's been since we last spoke.

You count the days
You're always aware of the time we spend apart, and you're always eager for us to be reunited.

But if I wanted silence
If I didn't want to talk, I would choose to be quiet rather than push you away.

I would whisper
I would keep my feelings and thoughts to myself, rather than express them openly to you.

And if I wanted loneliness
If I wanted to be by myself, I would choose to be alone rather than call you up.

I'd choose to go
I would leave rather than stay and spend time with you.

And if i like rejection
If I wanted to feel rejected, I would intentionally put myself in situations where I know I will be rejected.

I'd audition
I would try out for roles or positions that I know I won't get just to experience the feeling of being rejected.

And if I didn't love you
If my feelings for you weren't strong, I wouldn't be with you and you would know it.

You would know
I would have made it clear to you that I don't love you the same way you love me.

And why can't you just hold me
I need physical comforting and emotional support from you, and I don't understand why it's so difficult for you to give that to me.

And how come it is so hard
I don't understand what makes it so difficult for you to show me affection and hold me close when I need it.

And do you like to see me broken
I can't help but think that you enjoy seeing me struggle and hurt, even though I know that's not true.

And why do I still care
Despite everything, I still love you and want to make things work between us.

You say you see the light now
You claim to have gained clarity and insight into our relationship.

At the end of this narrow hall
You believe that we're finally approaching a resolution to our problems.

I wish it didn't matter
As much as I want things to get better between us, I wish I could let go and move on.

I wish I didn't give you all
I wish I hadn't invested so much of myself in this relationship, because it's caused me so much pain.

Poor little misunderstood baby
I feel like you don't understand the depth of my pain and my needs in our relationship.

No one likes a sad face
Being vulnerable and showing my emotions is seen as weakness, and it makes me feel even worse.

But I can't remember life without him
Even though I'm going through a tough time, I can't imagine my life without you in it.

I think I did have good days
In the past, I remember feeling happy and content in our relationship.
