Still Hold On
Love's Loneliness: Sawyer Brown's Struggle Between Heartache and Holding On
Lyrics
If I told you tonight that I loved you
If I confessed my love tonight, would you come towards me?
Would you walk my way?
Asking if the person would respond positively to the declaration of love.
Would you say lies that I want to hear?
Questioning whether the response would be genuine or just what the speaker wants to hear.
If I told you tonight that I need you
If I expressed my need for you tonight, would you emotionally hurt me?
Would you break my heart?
Wondering if admitting vulnerability would lead to heartbreak.
Would you start wearin' me down again?
Asking if the emotional strain would begin again.
I feel so lonely when I'm with you
Feeling loneliness in the presence of the person being addressed.
But I'm so lonely when you're gone
Expressing loneliness even when the person is absent.
I can't live with you, I can't live without you
Conflicted emotions about the relationship, unable to fully live with or without the person.
But I still hold on.
Despite the challenges, the speaker continues to hold on to the relationship.
If I told you tonight I was leavin'
Considering leaving and wondering if the person would try to stop them.
Would you call my name?
Questioning if the person would actively seek to prevent the departure.
Take the blame, turn it all around again?
Addressing the potential for blame-shifting and attempts to reconcile.
'Cause you know I love you
Affirming love for the person despite the heartache.
And it's worth the heartache
Acknowledging that the pain is worthwhile for the sake of love.
I curse the heartache we make
Expressing frustration with the difficulties and challenges in the relationship.
But I still hold on.
Despite the hardships, the speaker continues to hold on to the love.
I feel so lonely when I'm with you
Reiteration of feeling lonely in the presence of the person.
But I'm so lonely when you're gone
Continued loneliness even in the absence of the person.
I can't live with you, I can't live without you
Repeating the struggle of not being able to fully live with or without the person.
I still hold on, I still hold on.
Despite challenges, the speaker still clings to the relationship.
I feel so lonely when I'm with you
Reiteration of the emotional loneliness in the presence of the person.
But I'm so lonely when you're gone
Continued emotional isolation in the person's absence.
I can't live with you, I can't live without you
Restating the dilemma of being unable to fully live with or without the person.
I still hold on, I still hold on
Despite the struggles, the speaker still holds on to the relationship.
I still hold on, I still hold on
Reaffirming the determination to hold on despite difficulties.
Still hold on.
Final repetition of the resolve to still hold on to the relationship.
