MATT NATHANSON LYRICS - Lost Myself In Search Of You

"Lost Myself In Search Of You"



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.
