Hold me
Jake Banfield Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold me
I'm not ok
Hold me
I need you to stay
Hold me
I need you
Hold me
There's nothing else you can do

When you walked down my life I felt like dying
Is my life worth or even should i stop trying
My pillows filled with tears and I can't stop crying
I'm not the same as I once was no denying

Ooh yeah, hold me
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you ohh
Hold me

I gave my all to you with nothing in return
You left me here memories left to burn
Say I'm not worth your time so you leave
Told me t find myself but
I just need someone to hold me I need you
Hold me there's nothing else you can do
Hold me, set me free
Hold me
Your breaking me, breaking me




Breaking me, breaking me
Breaking me oh

Idk who's reading this but our Father in Heaven loves you so very much and wants to have a relationship with you. You haven't felt true love until you've felt His love🤍

His word says the very hairs on your head are numbered.

It is not HIM who has walked away from us but us who have walked away from HIM. Especially in the times we're living in right now.

He will NEVER let you down, He lifted me out of the darkest of places and He can do the very same for you.

Repent and pray in Jesus mighty name🤍

Does anybody else thinks that the pillow is always there and you can hug it when you feel alone, wipe your tears and sometimes makes the pain go away..
