Holding On
David Wade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Its been so long since we've been together
And I dont really know just how you feel
But deep down inside I feel this passion
But keeps me holding on I need you here
It used to be so right you and I together
Making love all night holding you in my arms
I'm Wondering why were not together
[chorus]
You need to come home to me my baby
Cause I cant go on without you here
And deep down inside my soul is dying
So until you come home I'll be holding on
[verse 2]
This emptiness inside got this love dying
Trying to find a way to put myself out of the darkness
I try to hold on but I keep on falling
Tell me what can I do cause everytime I close my eyes
All I see is you and go...ooh ooh ooh
Never want to see you cry
And I never thought you would say bye bye
But now you're gone, you're gone
I really never tried to understand
I figured out I'd be your man
But now you're gone, you're gone
[chorus]
You need to come home to me my baby
Cause I cant go on without you here
And deep down inside my soul is dying
So until you come home I'll be holding on
[verse 3]
So now you're gone, (you're gone)
I know I did you wrong (you're wrong)
If you come home this day and come take this pain away
Cause I'm going to be here for you...
So now you're gone, (you're gone)
I know I did you wrong (you're wrong)
If you come home this day and come take this pain away
Cause I'm going to be here for you...
[chorus]
You need to come home to me my baby
Cause I cant go on without you here
And deep down inside my soul is dying
So until you come home I'll be holding on
You need to come home to me my baby
Cause I cant go on without you here
And deep down inside my soul is dying
So until you come home I'll be holding on
