Fitz & the Tantrums

To be real
Is to understand
When I had you
I was not
Completely in tune

'Cause I was blind
I let you drift away
I didn't give you
Enough to stay
So you made up my mind
And you walked away

And why didn't I,

[Chorus]
Hold you tighter than tighter
When I could do no wrong
It's getting harder and harder
Why didn't I
Hold you tighter than tighter
How could I be so wrong

You can't hold on
To what is already gone

Come back baby

Don't be strong
Don't let it go
Cause are you out there
With someone else
Are you telling him no.

'Cause I could be
Your shelter from the rain
Come inside now
Not gonna give you pain
'Cause I made up my mind, I walk away.

And why didn't I

[Chorus]

Hold you tighter than tighter
When I could do no wrong
It's getting harder and harder
Why didn't I
Hold you tighter than tighter
How could I be so wrong

You can't hold on
To what is already gone.

Come back baby

And Why,
Oh why,
Won't you believe in me
Why oh why,
Won't you believe in me

Why didn't I

[Chorus]

Hold you tighter than tighter
When I could do no wrong
It's getting harder and harder
Why didn't I,
Hold you tighter than tighter
How could I be so wrong

You can't hold on to what is already gone.

Come back baby
