Hold Me Tight
Jun.K (2PM) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been living life
Like an empty space
Cause I don't think that i'll belong anywhere
I've given up
Tryna' make a place
Cause I don't think that Im safe anywhere
The little things in life
Scares me as the day goes by
The more I learn 'bout it
The more I fear for it
Am I getting older?
Cause everywhere is colder
I don't want to live a life filled with strangers
Cause I'm about to lose myself
Though I was smiling
It seems like no one else is there to hold me now
I'd hold myself
Now I'm living life, with the space I've made
Cause I don't think that I'd be lost anywhere
I've given up
Tryna' make a place
Cause I don't think that Im safe anywhere
The little things in life
Scares me as the day goes by
The more I learn 'bout it
The more I fear for it
Am I getting older?
Cause everywhere is colder
I don't want to live a life filled with strangers
Cause I'm about to lose myself
Though I was smiling
It seems like no one else is there to hold me now
I'd hold myself
I've been living life
Like an empty space
Cause I don't think that I'd belong anywhere
I've given up
Tryna' make a place
Cause I don't feel that I'm safe anywhere
Am I getting older?
Cause everywhere is colder
I don't want to live a life filled with strangers
Cause I'm about to lose myself
Though I was smiling
It seems like no one else is there to hold me now
I'd hold myself
Now that I'm older
Maybe things get better
I don't wanna live a life with no changes
Cause I'm about to lose myself
In this messed world




Seems like no one else is there to hold me now
Oh hold me now
