Hold Me Lyrics

hold me, don't ever leave me
know me, never believe me
stay here but don't get too near me
leave me, leave me alone
but don't ever let me go

show me, but don't ever teach me
touch me, don't try to reach me
hold me but don't ever keep me
baby, don't ever let me in

and don't let me win

'cause I leave myself to you
yes, I release myself with you
I believe in me and you
so don't ever say you do

love me, try not to need me
need me but don't let the greed in
feel free but don't ever leave me
give in, don't ever let me
no, don't ever let me win

hold me, don't ever leave me
ask me but don't ever make me
save me, don't ever forsake me
call me but don't ever say my name

know what you do

'cause I leave myself to you
yes I release myself with you
I believe in me and you
so don't ever say you do

don't let me win
just hold me

and you say "nina nina ninana...."

now how can I let you go?

hold me, don't ever leave me
love me but don't ever let me
no, don't ever let me win

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The girl in the relationship is pushing the guy away, but inside, secretly, she is actually hoping he will resist her efforts and stay with her. She is ambivalent about love yet needs it all the same.

I think both of them are in love and she likes that and wants them to be close, but at the same time she appreciates that both of them also need their own space in life and that the balance between spending time by yourself and dedicating time to the other person isn't as simple as she'd first thought. It's almost like she's saying, "Yes, love me and hold me, but don't get too carried away."
