Hold On Me
Roudette Marlon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Really got a hold on me
Just let me keep a piece of me
Go ahead take the rest of me
You are my best friend
You are my worst of enemies
You are my lover
And all this time both of us were wrong
And I just blamed myself
You break me down till I got nothing else
I can't lie to myself
Tell me are we only casualties spinning out of love
So no more, no more
Help me tear us from this tragedy
I don't wanna lose our love
So come on, come on
At times I start to wonder
I don't recognize myself
You compare me to the others
But I can't be nobody else
Seems you got a hold on me
Really got a hold on me
So let me keep a piece of me
Go ahead take the rest of me
All this time both of us were wrong
And I just blamed myself
You break me down till I got nothing else
I can't lie to myself
Tell me are we only casualties spinning out of love
So no more, no more
Help me tear us from this tragedy
I don't wanna lose our love
So come on, come on
So come on, come on

I do not know who I have become
You compare me to the others
You measure me against other people
But I can't be nobody else
But I cannot transform into someone else
