Verse 1:
Those days when you whispered
Into my ear they were so loving

Those things like when you held me
Warm memories so captivating


Chorus:
I tried to hold onto you for so long
But you pushed me right out of your life

I tried to hold onto you for so long
But you blurred me right out of your sight


Verse 2:
I'd fret over our fighting
It was so frightening

I was so afraid I'd lose
The one thing that made me happy
You were so classy why'd you go away


Chorus:
I tried to hold onto you for so long

(Tried to hold ya, tried to hold ya)
But you pushed me right out of your life
I tried to hold onto you for so long

(Tried to hold ya, tried to hold ya)
But you blurred me right out of your sight


Bridge:
Those forever promises stick in my head
I never expected us to have an end


Chorus (x2):
I tried to hold onto you for so long

(So long)
But you pushed me right out of your life
(Right out of your life)

I tried to hold onto you for so long
(So long)
But you blurred me right out of your sight

(Right out of your sight)
