Just Hold On
Alex A & Nathalie M.A Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You always like to play games with my heart
And you know that it starts to kill me when we’re apart

Is it oh so bad to want
When all you do is taunt
I just want to hold you by my side

You know that I’m in love with you, it’s true
Cause every time you talk to him, it makes me blue

Is it really too much to ask
To complete such a simple task
Cause I just want to hold you by my side

Oh, you said you needed someone, who could hold you tight (hold you tight)
But when I say it’s me you want, you don’t think that I’m right

Oh, you said you needed someone, who could hold you tight (hold you tight)
But when I say it’s me you want, you don’t think that I’m right

You know you shouldn’t play these games with me
Cause you made one wrong move and baby can’t you see

That I can’t get you out of my mind
No matter how hard I’ve tried
Cause I just want to hold you by




I just want to hold you by
Cause all I want to do is hold you by my side

The pre-chorus and chorus explore the disconnect between what the person says they need and their actions.

You always like to play games with my heart
You consistently enjoy manipulating my emotions


And you know that it starts to kill me when we’re apart
You are aware that being separated from you deeply affects me


Is it oh so bad to want
Is it truly wrong to desire


When all you do is taunt
When all you do is tease and provoke


I just want to hold you by my side
I simply long to have you close to me


You know that I’m in love with you, it’s true
You are aware that my feelings for you are genuine


Cause every time you talk to him, it makes me blue
Because every instance of you conversing with him saddens me

To complete such a simple task
To fulfill such an uncomplicated assignment

Because all I desire is to embrace you next to me


Oh, you said you needed someone, who could hold you tight (hold you tight)
Oh, you mentioned that you required someone who could embrace you closely

However, when I express that I am the one you desire, you do not believe me


You know you shouldn’t play these games with me
You are aware that you should not engage in these manipulative actions towards me


Cause you made one wrong move and baby can’t you see
Because you made a single mistake and my dear, can't you realize


That I can’t get you out of my mind
That I cannot stop thinking about you


No matter how hard I’ve tried
Regardless of the considerable efforts I've exerted


Cause I just want to hold you by
Because all I yearn for is to embrace you


I just want to hold you by
I simply want to have you next to me


Cause all I want to do is hold you by my side
Because my sole desire is to keep you close to me

For all the women seeing this- you are worthy.

For the channel owner, it’s a pathetic share and shows you are chasing clicks versus bringing value and goodness to the world.

How horrible a life of embarrassment this brings for this poor young woman who is probably lovely, but her expression is one of humiliation.

For those who laugh at this consider your mothers, sisters and all the women in the world.

This kind of shame is the source of so much sorrow that is unnecessary.
