Lyrics Fitz and the Tantrums

Fitz and the Tantrums

Tighter

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

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

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

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

Ooh, ooh, ooh
