Letra de She Tried to Hold Me
She tried to hold me She tried to hold me She didn't know Love is letting goShe said 'I'm looking for perfection' As she strode in my direction She cast her mantle round me, Said 'I'm completed since you found me' She executed her enchantment Secreted me in her encampment With diversions and pretences She dismantled my defencesShe tried to hold me She tried to hold me She didn't know Love is letting goShe told me I was unrealistic And then she went ballistic In her powder blue pajamas, Me some flotsam in her drama She said "love's what I believe in" But inside she was seething With a cyclone raging under Like she was skin surrounding thunderShe tried to hold me She tried to hold me She didn't know Love is letting goI made it to the stairwell In the street I muttered farewell With a driving wind agin me And shame exploding in me It took me six years to begin again To feel secure in my own skin again For she lingered like uranium Like a demon in my craniumShe tried to hold me She tried to hold me She didn't know Love is letting goAll this was long ago now And if I knew then what I know now I'd have deployed a little patience I'd have laughed at all her stipulations But I was young and I fumbled A boy-fool whose castle crumbled I couldn't save her Though I forgave herShe tried to hold me She tried to hold me She didn't know Love is letting go
