  • Standing in a crowded room, and I can't see your face
    Put your arms around me, tell me everything's OK
    In my mind, I'm running round a cold and empty space
    Just put your arms around me, tell me everything's OK

    Break my bones but you won't see me fall, oh
    The rising tide will rise against them all, oh

    Darling, hold my hand
    Oh, won't you hold my hand?
    'Cause I don't wanna walk on my own anymore, won't you understand?
    'Cause I don't wanna walk alone
    I'm ready for this, there's no denying
    I'm ready for this, you stop me falling
    I'm ready for this, I need you all in
    I'm ready for this, so darling, hold my hand

    Soul is like a melting pot when you're not next to me
    Tell me that you've got me and you're never gonna leave
    Tryna find a moment where I can find release
    Please tell me that you've got me and you're never gonna leave

    Break my bones but you won't see me fall, oh
    The rising tide will rise against them all, oh

    Darling, hold my hand
    Oh, won't you hold my hand?
    'Cause I don't wanna walk on my own anymore, won't you understand?
    'Cause I don't wanna walk alone
    I'm ready for this, there's no denying
    I'm ready for this, you stop me falling
    I'm ready for this, I need you all in
    I'm ready for this, so darling, hold my hand

    Don't wanna know
    That feeling when I'm all alone
    So please don't make me wait, 'cause I don't wanna break
    No, I don't wanna fall
    When you're next to me
    Can tell I'm not afraid to be
    That you don't make me wait, and never let me break
    You never let me fall

    Darling, hold my hand
    Oh, won't you hold my hand?
    'Cause I don't wanna walk on my own anymore, won't you understand?
    'Cause I don't wanna walk alone
    I'm ready for this, there's no denying
    I'm ready for this, you stop me falling
    I'm ready for this, I need you all in
    I'm ready for this, so darling, hold my hand Writer/s: Ina Wroldsen, Jack Patterson, Janee Bennett, Jess Glynne
