Lyrics of Tighter by Fitz and The Tantrums
verse
To be real
Is to understand
When I had you
I was not
Completely in tune
verse
'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
But come back baby
verse
Don't be strong
Don't let it go
'Cause are you out there
With someone else
Are you telling him "no"?
verse
'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
But 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
