I was holding you so tight and you were holding me So wrapped up in the moment I was feeling such security And the first few weeks felt just like heaven, but I never really seemed to get that high So now I sit here laughing at the time that past me by. It s times like these, when I feel I'm on my knees begging please don't go. And as you slipped away I couldn't admit that we were through As you slipped away I found I lost myself in search of you I was holding you so tight and you were holding him But you left the door so wide open that I was sure you'd come back in And now the only time I can hold you is in my mind And that doesn't seem to fill me up inside So yes I felt lonely and yes I felt a need And you seemed to feel it necessary to make me see That I was wrong and you were right And that all my attempts were in vain But I was pretty sure you'd turn around and want me back again And as you slipped away I couldn't admit that we were through As you slipped away I found I lost myself in you I was holding you so tightly when you needed help I guess insecurities catch up to you when You're lying to yourself But I wasn't lying when I told you all that you could be But it was no use, you never really ever listened to me I was holding you so tight but now I've let you go.
