Too Tightly

Maybe it’s just me
Maybe it’s just me
Maybe I’m just stuck living my life feeling lonely
I know I got my shield up
To heal my heart from drowning
But really it’s just starting to look like I’m allowing
Every feeling, negative to happen to me
The trust that I use to have its obsolete
And I don’t feel like I’ma ever get it back, believe me
Once it breaks it won’t ever be replaced so easy
So now that I’m feeling some type a way about you
I’ma have to move on to the next one without you
I’m Flipping through the upcoming chapters of my life
Following my dreams
Is what gets me through the night
I hope you’re doing good, ya
I hope you’re doing fine
I hope that new person treats you like you’re mine
Like you’re mine
Like you’re mine
Like you’re mine
Like you’re mine
Like you’re mine
Like you’re mine
(Chours)
So maybe I’ve been holding on too tightly, to my heart
That I never let anything begin
I never let it start
I can’t let you close to me cuz I’m broken can’t you see?
That I’m working on myself right now
Taking these steps to better myself
I’m sorry that I let you down
I’m sorry that I let you down… down
Maybe it’s just me
Maybe it’s just me
Maybe I’m just stuck living my life in this movie
The real world doesn’t always have a very happy ending
In fact it’s rather cruel so let’s just stop pretending
Like there’s gonna be a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow
Or a poison kiss will reunite you both
It’s sad to say that everything in reality is tainted
But that’s why I’m here painting this picture that I’ve painted
An now you’re reacquainted
At the sound of my voice
This is what I chose to do, to save the world it’s my choice
I turned a broken heart
To art
That you relate to
In hopes one day
Ill be strong enough to be with you
(Chours)
So maybe I’ve been holding on too tightly, to my heart
That I never let anything begin
I never let it start
I can’t let you close to me cuz I’m broken can’t you see?
That I’m working on myself right now
Taking these steps to better myself
I’m sorry that I let you down
