Click hereI held on tightly to what I had,
Scared that it would get away,
But I squeezed too tightly,
And it went out like a candle in the wind,
Now that I’m left with the shattered pieces,
I try so hard to put it back together,
Because now it feels so wrong,
I need everything to be all right again,
And I know that it’s gone,
And I’m not going to get it back,
I found it would never be the same,
Now I’m seeing reflections of it all,
And how it could have,
Should have, would have been,
If only I hadn’t clung so tightly,
It might not have come to this,
And I think about all this in silence,
I can’t find the words I need to speak,
And it fades away when I take too long,
And I know there’s no getting it back.
