Arthur, James - Hold On Lyrics






Empty glances, and no romance
conversation only hi
You know my ways and how to play me
I am just your habit for killing time

And I know it’s all wrong, but I just don’t feel strong
So I keep holding on, and I ask you, I ask you please to…

Hold me before you go
We don’t hold each other anymore
And kiss me like you miss me
'Cause it feels like we’re just, feels like we’re holding on

We only talk when things go wrong
We never seem to have much fun
Your life is always on the run away from me
I try to fix it make it right
But you feel cold in bed at night
When I hold you close up tight
I still miss you

And I know it’s all wrong, but I just don’t feel strong
So I keep holding on, and I ask you, I ask you please just-

Hold me before you go
We don’t hold each other anymore
And kiss me like you miss me
'Cause it feels like we’re just, feels like we’re holding on

There was a time when our love it was so sweet
And nothing stood between us and the world seems so complete
And now it feels like there’s no earth beneath my feet
And I ‘m falling into darkness and it’s you I need to see

Hold me before you go
we don’t hold each other anymore
And kiss me like you miss me
'Cause it feels like we’re just, feels like we’re holding on

Arthur, James Hold On Comments
  1. M.... C....

    why the heck is this song isn't on spotify

  2. B.... b....

    ........😍

  3. c.... c....

    Not going anywhere!

  4. C.... K....

    This is my @bsolute #1 of his old songs! Wonderful!!

  5. F.... A....

    three years later .....wow...still amazing

  6. G.... ....

    He has the best voice!

  7. D.... ....

    Love this song... love James voice, his music, passion, sensititivity, creativity, sweetness, power, honesty... so I guess I pretty much love everything about him. For me he is in his own league... out of this world. A lot of support and Love from Spain.

  8. H.... A....

    2017 and this song is still as stunning as ever

  9. K.... L....

    What album is this on? This isn't the hills me I was looking for the lyrics for, the one from sins by the sea? But this one is fabulous and I want to own it! Help?!

    K.... L....

    It is called James Arthur. I bought it from Amazon Music and love it and every thing he does. I recently found his Sins by the Sea which has a date of 2010. Epic.

  10. n.... t....

    In love with this

  11. M.... J....

    well fuck.

  12. S.... C....

    I'm going to marry that man one day ....hopefully

  13. K.... M....

    I have not made a comment on this song for years... it is just too hard! One of James' best but, like so many of you out there, it hits to close to home! But, now I guess the time feels right!
    Oh man, the heartache of loving someone who does not return that love! You keep trying and trying to get back what you thought was there...until you realize that "they" NEVER did love you! Then comes the hard part of convincing your mind that your heart was all wrong! Feeling like a complete idiot...then the anger and hatred comes! So you turn that hatred inward, which is the definition of "depression".... So... now, whats left?
    I guess we hold on to the HOPE that the promise of a day to come, where the heartache is gone forever, is a true promise!

    I gotta say the true genius in James comes out in my favorite line: "Your life is always on the run...(pause) away from me!"

    So perfect! Love you James!

    Long Live the King~!

    He reminds me of John Mayer

    H.... S....

    Harry Styles I've been obsessed with John for years and seriously considered him to be my "lifetime idol"..,at 49 years old I think maybe James may just be the one!! This kid is unbelievably remarkable and I've listened to anything & everything he's already done.

    he really deserved everything good whats given on earth... im so glad he won the xfactor! the best winner who ever auditioned on a talent show.

  84. A.... N....

    he did win

  85. P.... O....

    I absolutely love this & stumbled upon it when listening to James' performances to get me through work. Does anyone know when/where he recorded it?
    This is a sample of what we have to come when James releases his own work on his album-I can't bloody wait! Love his covers (even LOVE Abba's SOS now!) but this is class! excellent work!!

  86. K.... H....

    I think my replay button is going to burn out. I've fallen inlove with this song.

  87. J.... K....

    1 dislike nice try Jamane

    J.... K....

    Awww, Jenny, no... it was not Jamane... He really is a sweet person and wishes no harm to anyone! Although, I saw James' audition and backed him all the way to the win, he was the first person I felt worthy to go all the way to the end with James.

  88. E.... T....

    Omg !!!! I luv him x x x

  89. V.... P....

    1 Dislike? Nice try Christopher.

  90. M.... ....
