[Verse] You keep me dancing to your every whim, and honestly, my mental’s wearing thin. Every time you leave me on read, the anxiety starts messin' with my head. If I could just hate you, life would be so much easier to bear. Your selfish games, that fake-ass smile—I’m sick of the burden I have to wear. But still, I’m stuck on you. You’re the one person I can’t afford to lose. [Pre-Chorus] Everything I’ve been holding back is about to explode; the words are choking me, a heavy, tangled load. I want to run, but I’m glued to your side. This kind of feeling… it’s a foul, and I’ve got nowhere to hide. [Chorus] Hold me closer, stronger, tighter than before! My heart’s on the edge, and I can’t take any more. I know there’s no refuge, no place to go, except into the arms of the one who hurts me so. Hold me hotter, baby, hold me tight! Make me shiver through the dead of night. I’m ready to dump everything and give it my all—I want to love you with a feverish intensity until I fall! [Verse] Just one of your mixed signals and my whole rhythm’s out of sync. I want to play it tough, but in front of you, I’m vulnerable before I can even blink. Even after the nights we fight, you’re the first thought that hits me with the morning light. I can’t believe I’m this obsessed, this far gone. How did I end up so deep in your pawn? [Bridge] Lie to me if you have to, just say the words I need to hear. Tell me I’m “necessary,” whisper it in my ear. With just that one lie, I feel like I could blow all this suffering straight to hell. [Chorus] Hold me closer, stronger, tighter than before! I’m laying all my weaknesses out on the floor. If it isn’t you, then it doesn’t mean a thing—that’s how serious the pain is that you bring. Hold me hotter, baby, hold me tight! Let the sparks fly until they ignite. I want to take this impulse I can’t restrain and crash it into you like a hurricane. [Outro] So stop leading me on, stop the guessing game. Just call out my name, and only my name. Again and again… for the rest of eternity.
