Lost Myself in Search of You Songtext
von Matt Nathanson

I was holding you so tight and you were holding me
So wrapped up in the moment I was feeling such security
And the first few weeks felt just like heaven,
But we never really seemed to get that high
And now I sit here laughing at the time that past me by

It′s time
It's times like these, when I feel I′m on my knees begging
Please don't go

And as you slipped away
I couldn't admit that we were through
And as you slipped away
I found I lost myself in search of you
I found I lost myself in search of you


I was holding you so tight and you were holding him
But you left the door so wide open
That I was sure you′d come back in
And now the only time I can hold you is in my mind
And that doesn′t seem to fill me up inside
So yes I felt lonely
And yes I felt a need
And you seemed to feel it necessary to make me see
That I was wrong and you were right
And that all my attempts were in vain
But I was pretty sure you'd turn around
And want me back again

And as you slipped away
I couldn′t admit that we were through
And as you slipped away
I found I lost myself in search of you
I found I lost myself in search of you

I was holding you so tightly when you needed help
I guess insecurities catch up to you
When you're lying to yourself
But I wasn′t lying when I told you all that you could be
But it was no use
You never really ever listened to me
I was holding you so tightly
But now I've let you go

And as you slipped away
I couldn′t admit that we were through
And as you slipped away
I found I lost myself in search of you
I found I lost myself in search of you
