In this emotive piece, Ellie Goulding captures the anguish and disillusionment of a faltering relationship. The lyrics poignantly reflect the singer's realization that despite recurring attempts to salvage the connection, the emotional strain is becoming unbearable. "You know we can get away, Because I'm calling your name" conveys a longing for reconciliation, yet the repetitive rejection is evident as the partner "just turns and walks away." The metaphor of putting "your hands into the flame" underscores the self-destructive nature of their interactions, highlighting the pain both parties endure. The recurring assertion, "I just can't keep hanging on," signifies the singer's struggle with dependency and the ultimate need for release from this toxic cycle. Ultimately, the song portrays the heart-wrenching decision to let go, acknowledging that the continued attachment only perpetuates mutual suffering.
Hanging On
Lyrics
You know we can get away
Because I'm calling your name
Every day I feel this pain
But you just turn and walk away
No, I just can't keep hanging on
To you and me
I just don't know what is wrong
With you and me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
Touch me and then turn away
Then put your hands into the flame
Tell me if you feel this pain
'Cause I don't wanna be a ball and chain
No, I just can't keep hanging on
To you and
I just don't know what is wrong
With you and me
I just can't keep hanging on
To you and me
With you and me
With you and me
