Hollalude
Trey Songz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wake up in cold sweats
I wonder where you are
What you doin'? (I miss you)
I think of you (I miss us)
I remember that silly fight we had soon as your mama left the house
Do you remember
And I didn't understand the words coming out your mouth
I remember
Every argument like yesterday
(yesterday)
Still can't believe that you gone away (I can't believe it)
And I know it's a choice that we both done made
That it was best for us just to break apart
But I wanna let you know that your still in my heart (and you, baby you know)
That you're still in my heart (like a seed, let you grow)
I still love you girl no matter where you go
No matter where you are
No matter how far
I'm gone be right there (right there) if you need me
I'm right here (right here) if you want me
I'm right here here here (here)
And all you gotta do is
reach out and touch me
In the song "Hollalude" by Trey Songz, the lyrics depict a man who is deeply missing his ex-girlfriend. He wakes up in cold sweats sometimes and wonders what she is doing, and even though they both made the choice to break apart, she is still in his heart. The lyrics express his love for her and his willingness to be there for her no matter what. He recalls a silly fight they had and remembers her words when she said he won't quite be the man he used to be. He remembers each argument like it was yesterday but still can't believe she's gone.
The song is a tribute to a lost love that still lingers in the singer's heart. It is about how difficult it is to forget someone, and how memories of that person can bring back strong emotions. The lyrics also show how the man is hoping to reconnect with his ex-girlfriend and be there for her even though they are no longer together. He is willing to be there for her and wants to let her know that she is still in his heart.
