Hold Me Close
SWANN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don’t know why
I feel sad
Don’t know why
I feel I’m gonna die

And you tell me…
There’s nothing to weep over
Please come back
I need you so much
Hold me close in your arms,
Hold me close in your arms

I wanna cry
Dry my eyes
Gonna find a place
Where I won’t feel so bad

It’s gonna hurt
But it always will
Cause I can see in your face
That our love ends here

And you tell me…
There’s nothing to weep over
Please come back
I need you so much
Hold me close in your arms,
Hold me close in your arms





Ohhhohohhh…. etc
