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 passed 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 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 search of you
I found I lost myself in search of 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 tightly
But now I've let you go

And as you slipped away
I couldn't admit that we were through
And as you slipped away
I found I lost myself in search of you
I found I lost myself in search of you

    "I guess insecurities catch up to you when you're stupid and you f**king lie, WHORE"

    Can't beat lyrics like that.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
