Hold Me Back
The Strive Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see your pain, your hands are shakin'
You don't know which way to go
Tears on your face, my heart is breakin'
'Cause you feel like you're alone

You think you're losing your grip
And you just want to quit
But that's no way to live
I will be there for you
Right here, pulling you through always
(Always)

When the darkest night is
Crashin' all around you
When you're fightin' but it's
Gettin' hard to breathe
When it seems like there is
Nothing to hold on to
I'll never leave, hold on to me
Hold on to me hold on to me
When it seems like there is
Nothing to hold on to
I'll never leavе, hold on to me

If you feel lost, I will find you
And I will carry you back home
If you've givеn up
(Given up) , I'll remind you
That you've never been alone

You think you're losing your grip
And you just want to quit
But that's no way to live, no
I will be there for you
Right here, pulling you through always
(Always)

When the darkest night is
Crashin' all around you (Around you)
When you're fightin' but it's
Gettin' hard to breathe (Yeah! Yeah)
When it seems like there is
Nothing to hold on to (To hold on to)
I'll never leave, hold on to me
Hold on to me hold on to me
When it seems like there is
Nothing to hold on to




I'll never leave, hold on to me
If you feel lost, I will find you
