|
They say nothing lasts forever |
|
Well, I wish that that were true |
|
'Cause this aching in my heart won't go away |
|
They sing, "Ev'rything must change", |
|
They say that time will see you through |
|
Well I've listened and I've waited for that day |
|
But I wake up with this anger |
|
And the pain won't let me be |
|
And the smile I share |
|
Is only there for show |
|
If I hang on to this heartache |
|
Then my soul will not be free |
|
So I keep trying |
|
But I just cannot let go |
|
I can't let go |
|
Oh, I need it to remind me |
|
I can't let go |
|
Oh, I just repeat the past |
|
And though your arms are saying yes |
|
I feel my heart keeps saying no |
|
I want to love you |
|
But I can't let go |
|
I had to live through bad beginnings |
|
And I've seen unhappy ends |
|
So I close the book |
|
Before the story starts |
|
I'm just a witness to my lifetime |
|
And I'm a stranger to my friends |
|
I'm a trafficker |
|
Of broke and damaged hearts |
|
Now, you ask me to start over |
|
But it's easier said than done |
|
And the memories are strong when they arise |
|
And when heartache comes a-callin' |
|
I don't even try to run |
|
'Cause it's all that makes me know that I'm alive |
|
I can't let go |
|
Oh, I need it to remind me |
|
I can't let go |
|
Oh, I just repeat the past |
|
And though your arms are saying yes |
|
I feel my heart keeps saying no |
|
I want to love you |
|
I want to love you |
|
I want to love you |
|
But I can't let go |
|
No, I can't let go |
|
Won't you help me? |
|
Help me to let go |
