lost myself in search of you - matt nathanson
"this is a song about dating someone who's dating you
and everything is fantastic until you find out they're sleeping with a bunch of other people...
... so this is a song about sharing."
i was holding you so tight
and you were holding me
so wrapped up in the moment
was feeling such security
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 passed me by
it's time
it's times like these
when i'm down on my knees
begging please
please don't go
please don't go
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 tight
and you were holding him
and him
and him
and him
and him
and her
and now the only time i can hold you
is in my mind
but that never seemed to fill me up inside
and 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 that 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 could'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'm always in search of you
i was holding you so tightly
when you needed help
i guess insecurities catch up to you
and you're stupid
and you lie
and you're a whore
but i never lied
when i told you all that you could be
it was no use
cuz you slept with everybody else but me
and i, i was holding you tight
i was always holding you so tight
and i'll never ever ever let you go
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
you know i found i lost myself in search of you
(that one's dedicated to my last ex. hah.)
