Matt Nathanson - Lost Myself In Search Of You lyrics

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
