I couldn't hold on to you Baby I tried everything that you wanted me to And I couldn't hold on to you I know that I tried but I guess that it wouldn't do So now I sing These lonesome songs for me because I'm blue And now my dreams Play tricks on what I see and it's all with you Yeah it all has to do with you I couldn't hold on to you Baby I tried everything that you wanted me to And I couldn't hold on to you I know that I tried but I guess that it wouldn't do Now I know that you're gone But I can't seem to get you out of my head Like memories or things that I would believe Yeah because you said Yeah everything that you said Don't you think that it's kinda strange That someone so close to you is gone? And you can try to realize But I think that it's just been too long Cuz' I couldn't hold on to you Baby I tried everything that you wanted me to And I couldn't hold on to you I know that I tried but I guess that it wouldn't do Cuz' I couldn't hold on to you Baby I tried everything that you wanted me to And I couldn't hold on to you I know that I tried but I guess that it wouldn't do
