This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
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
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
