Whenever He Holds You
Emotional Echoes: Unveiling the Heartache in 'Whenever He Holds You'
Lyrics
Take your little heart
Encouraging the listener to open up emotionally.
Tear it all apart
Suggesting breaking down emotional barriers.
Make the teardrops fall
Expressing the emotional aftermath with tears.
From your eyes
Visualizing the tears falling from the eyes.
And you'll know how I feel
Anticipating the listener's understanding of the singer's feelings.
When he holds you
Highlighting the impact of another person's embrace.
Whenever he holds you
Reinforcing the emotional impact of being held by someone else.
Pretend no one loves you
Advising to pretend that no one cares for the listener.
Make believe you're blue
Suggesting to feign sadness or loneliness.
And if you get an empty feeling deep inside
Describing a hollow and empty feeling within.
Then you'll know how I feel
Expecting the listener to empathize with the singer's emotional state.
When he holds you
Reiterating the impact of someone else holding the listener.
Whenever he holds you
Reinforcing the emotional resonance of being held by another.
My friends say forget you
Acknowledging advice from friends to move on.
I know I should try
Recognizing the need to try to forget.
But whenever he holds you, I feel I could die
Expressing intense emotions when thinking about the listener being held by someone else.
But if you ever find
Leaving room for the possibility of the listener returning.
That I'm still on your mind
Hoping the singer is still in the listener's thoughts.
Maybe you'll come back to my arms
Expressing a desire for the listener to return to the singer's embrace.
Till then I'll cry
Describing ongoing emotional pain and sadness.
When he holds you
Reiterating the emotional impact of someone else holding the listener.
Whenever he holds you
Underlining the persistent emotional resonance of being held by another.
Whenever he holds you
Repeating the emotional impact of someone else holding the listener.
