Hold Me Like You Used To
Zoe Wees Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That old familiar sting?
When you know they're gone
But you still hold on to the little things
Mama always told me that the ones that leave
They look down on us in golden wings
I wanna believe it
Tell me, do you believe it?
When we lose the ones we love
I was getting used to, used to
Having you with me
So why you gotta leave?
Just hold me like you used to, used to
Are you looking from above?
I didn't wanna lose you, lose you
So why you gotta leave?
Need you here with me
Just hold me like you used to, used to
When I lay awake at night
I feel you close to me
Now you're taken from this world
I hope you can finally breath
Mama always told me that the songs I sing will make you proud
So I'm singing this
So do you hear it?
I wanna believe it
When we lose the ones we love
I was getting used to, used to
Having you with me
So why you gotta leave?
Just hold me like you used to, used to
Are you looking from above?
I didn't wanna lose you, lose you
So why you gotta leave?
Need you here with me
Just hold me like you used to, used to
I just wanna take away, take away
All the pain of yesterday, yesterday
I just wanna feel okay, feel okay
I just wanna be okay
When we lose the ones we love
I was getting used to, used to
Having you with me
So why you gotta leave?
Just hold me like you used to, used to
Are you looking from above?
I didn't wanna lose you, lose you
So why you gotta leave?
Need you here with me
Just hold me like you used to, used to
Zoe Wees's Hold Me Like You Used To is a song about the loss of a loved one and the struggle to let go. The song's opening lines ask "Can you feel that cold coming in, that old familiar sting?" which is a reference to the emotional pain that comes with the realization that a loved one is gone. Despite the fact that the person is no longer there, the singer still holds on to the little things, which makes it even harder to accept the reality of the situation.
The song draws on the idea that people who have passed on are watching over us, with the lyric "Mama always told me that the ones that leave, they look down on us in golden wings, I wanna believe it. Tell me, do you believe it?" This highlights the need for reassurance and a desire to connect with the departed loved one. There's an acceptance in the song that the person is gone, but the singer still longs for their presence to soothe their pain.
The song's chorus expresses a simple and yet powerful message: "Just hold me like you used to, used to." This repetition stresses the yearning for comfort and support from the departed loved one. It’s a heart-wrenching song that captures the longing for a departed loved one's touch and presence, hoping they can feel everything that's happening and also wanting to be held and comforted by them one more time.
