[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
And why didn't I
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
[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
And why didn't I
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

[Bridge]
And Why
Oh why
Won't you believe in me
Why oh why
Won't you believe in me
[Chorus]
Why didn't I
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
