Hold Me Closer Lyrics

[Verse 1: Cornelia Jakobs]
No need to apologize
'Cuz there's nothing to regret
Well, this is not what I wanted
Guess all the good things come to an end

[Pre-Chorus: Cornelia Jakobs]
So baby bye, bye
Wish you the best
But most of alI I wish that I could love you less
Well, maybe you're right
I'll find someone else
You say it isn't me, but when did that ever help?

[Chorus: Cornelia Jakobs]
Hold me closer
Although you'll leave before the sunrise
Might be bleeding, but don't you mind, I'll be fine
Oh, it kills me
I found the right one at the wrong time
But until the sunrise
Hold tight, hold tight

[Verse 2: Cornelia Jakobs]
Maybe it happened too fast
I guess that I understand
You say that you've never felt this way for anyone
And that's why it scares you to death

[Pre-Chorus: Cornelia Jakobs]
So baby bye, bye
Though it's for the best
Still I can't see how that would ease the pain in my chest

[Chorus: Cornelia Jakobs]
Hold me closer
Although you'll leave before the sunrise
I'll be bleeding, but don't you mind, I'll be fine
Oh, it kills me
I found the right one at the wrong time
But until the sunrise
Could you just hold me tight?
I know, I have to let go, but just give me the night

[Bridge: Cornelia Jakobs]
'Cuz tomorrow will hurt
Hurt really bad
'Cuz I'm about to lose the best I ever had

[Chorus: Cornelia Jakobs]
Hold me closer
Although you'll leave before the sunrise
I'll be bleeding, but don't you mind, I'll be fine
Oh, it kills me
I found the right one at the wrong time
But until the sunrise
Could you just hold me tight?
I know, I have to let go
But just give me the night
(Hold me tight, hold me tight)

[Outro: Cornelia Jakobs]
Can't you see that you found the right one at the wrong time?
It was just the wrong time
Hold tight, hold tight
