Timmy Thomas’ “(Dying Inside) To Hold You” is a heartfelt love ballad about overwhelming longing and emotional vulnerability. The narrator aches to be close to someone he deeply loves but cannot fully have, expressing loneliness, desire, and hope that their feelings will someday be returned, despite the pain of separation.
(Dying Inside) To Hold You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It’s turning out just another day
I took a shower and I went on my way
I stopped there as usual
Had a coffee and pie
When I turned to leave
I couldn’t believe my eyes
Standing there I didn’t know what to say
Without one touch
We stood there face to face
[Chorus]
(And) I was dying inside to hold you
I couldn’t believe what I felt for you
Dying inside, I was dying inside
But I couldn’t bring myself to touch you
[Verse 2]
You said hello then you asked my name
I didn’t know if I should go all the way
Inside, I felt my life have really changed
I knew that it would never be the same
Standing there, I didn’t know what to say
First time, looked away when I whispered your name
[Chorus]
(And) I was dying inside to hold you
I couldn’t believe what I felt for you
Dying inside, I was dying inside
But I couldn’t bring myself to touch you
(And) I was dying inside to hold you
I couldn’t believe what I felt for you
Dying inside I was dying inside
But I couldn’t bring myself to touch you
[Bridge]
One hello changed my life
I didn’t believe in love at first sight
But you’ve shown me what is life
And now I know my love (I know it’s coming right)
[Chorus]
(And) I was dying inside to hold you
I couldn’t believe what I felt for you
Dying inside, I was dying inside
But I couldn’t bring myself to touch you
