Hold me
Hope Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am never gonna be your only girl
baby when you hold me
I know your thinking of her

Never gonna be the one you love
but baby you told me
I´m the only future in your world
and I wanna run into your arms
but baby i can´t take it anymore
been down this road before
just need you to love me
all you gotta do is hold me





When my nights are getting cold

Overall Meaning

, I need someone to hold me, to feel the warmth and comfort of their love. Hope's song, "Hold Me" expresses the yearning of a lover, who realizes that she may never be the only one for her partner, but still desires the affection and intimacy of their touch. The lyrics state that the singer's partner is holding her, but her heart knows that he is thinking of another woman, and she may never be the one he loves. However, he reassures her that she is the only future in his world, culminating in the singer desiring to run into his arms, but unable to do so, weighed down by the knowledge that she is not the only one.


The song depicts the internal battle of the singer, who struggles with her desire for the comforting arms of her partner, despite knowing that he may not love her the way she wants. The lyrics convey a sense of raw vulnerability, and the chorus emphasizes the singer's need to be held, and that all her partner has to do is hold her, to make her feel loved.


It is not uncommon for people to crave intimacy and love even if they know that the relationship may not have a happy ending. "Hold Me" explores this aspect of love, where one is willing to accept a less than ideal situation, just to feel the warmth of another's love. In the end, the song reminds us that love, even when it is not perfect or reciprocated, is still love, and it is powerful enough to provide comfort and solace in trying times.
