Hold On To You
Bryan Lazar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby I tried everything that you wanted me to
And I couldn't hold on to you
I know that I tried but I guess that it wouldn't do
So now I sing
These lonesome songs for me because I'm blue
And now my dreams
Yeah it all has to do with you
I couldn't hold on to you
Baby I tried everything that you wanted me to
And I couldn't hold on to you
I know that I tried but I guess that it wouldn't do
Now I know that you're gone
But I can't seem to get you out of my head
Like memories or things that I would believe
Yeah because you said
Yeah everything that you said
Don't you think that it's kinda strange
That someone so close to you is gone?
And you can try to realize
But I think that it's just been too long
Cuz' I couldn't hold on to you
Baby I tried everything that you wanted me to
And I couldn't hold on to you
I know that I tried but I guess that it wouldn't do
Cuz' I couldn't hold on to you
Baby I tried everything that you wanted me to
And I couldn't hold on to you
I know that I tried but I guess that it wouldn't do
The lyrics of Bryan Lazar's song "Hold on to You" speak about loss, regret, and the inability to hold onto a loved one.

The second verse of the song speaks about the singer's memories of his partner. Even though the other person is gone, the singer cannot remove the memories from his head. In a way, the memories are all that he has left of his relationship. He mentions that everything she said is still echoing in his head, which implies that he is still trying to make sense of why she left him.

He knows that he has to move on, but he cannot help but feel regret for not being able to hold onto the one he loved.

I couldn't hold on to you
I was unable to keep you close to me
Baby I tried everything that you wanted me to
I did all that I could to make you happy
And I couldn't hold on to you
Despite my efforts, I lost you
I know that I tried but I guess that it wouldn't do
I put in my best but it was not enough to keep you
So now I sing
With my heart full of sadness, I turn to music
These lonesome songs for me because I'm blue
I play sad songs that reflect how I feel
And now my dreams
Even in my sleep, I cannot escape you
Play tricks on what I see and it's all with you
My mind imagines things with you by my side
Yeah it all has to do with you
Everything in my life reminds me of you
Now I know that you're gone
I have come to terms with the fact that you have left
But I can't seem to get you out of my head
I cannot stop thinking about you
Like memories or things that I would believe
Thoughts of you are like vivid memories that I cannot shake off
Yeah because you said
Your words still echo in my mind
Don't you think that it's kinda strange
Isn't it odd to lose someone who was so close?
That someone so close to you is gone?
It's hard to accept that you're no longer here with me
And you can try to realize
I attempt to understand why you're no longer here
But I think that it's just been too long
But the answer eludes me and time has passed
Cuz' I couldn't hold on to you
I couldn't keep us together
Baby I tried everything that you wanted me to
I did all I could to meet your needs and desires
And I couldn't hold on to you
Despite trying, you slipped through my fingers
I know that I tried but I guess that it wouldn't do
Despite putting in my best effort, I still lost you
