Tighter Songtext
von Fitz and the Tantrums

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
But 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
But 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
