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
Its 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.
Come back baby
