Holding On
Miro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Didn′t know that I cared
That I needed you there
I was afraid
Now I'm feeling alone
And there′s nowhere to go
Since you went away

I would give you anything
Just to live the time again
If ony I could see you now
If only you could show me how

Do you feel like I feel
Are you waiting for someone
I want it all hear me call
I've been praying you would come
Don't leave me holding on
Don′t leave me holding on

I would give you anything
Just to live the time again
If ony I could see you now
If only you could show me how

Do you feel like I feel
Are you waiting for someone
I want it all hear me call
I′ve been praying you would come
Don't leave me holding on

Don′t leave me holding on




Don't leave me holding on
Don′t leave me holding on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Miro's song "Holding On" are about someone who realizes too late how much they cared about the person they lost. The singer confesses that they were initially afraid and might not have fully known how much they needed the other person at the time. However, now that the person is gone, they feel lost and alone. They yearn for the chance to see them again and to be shown how to cope in their absence.


The lyrics are full of desperation, with the singer promising to give anything to reverse the past and be with the person they lost once again. They wonder if the other person feels the same way, whether they also wait for someone, and ultimately pray for that person to return so that they don't have to hold on to the hope of seeing them again.


The song taps into the universal theme of regret and the desire to undo past mistakes. It emphasizes the importance of not taking people for granted and cherishing those we care about while we still have them.
