Lyrics

I Can’t Let Go

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

They say nothing lasts forever

Well, I wish that they were true

Cause this aching in my heart won't go away

They say everything must change

They say that time will see it through

Well, I've listened, and I've waited for that day

But I wake 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

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 keep saying no

I want to love you

But, I can't let go

I have lived the 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 broken 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'calling

I won't even try to run

'Cause it's all that makes me know that I'm alive

I can't let go

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 keep saying no

I want to love you

I wanna love you

I wanna love you

But, I can't let go

No, I Can't let go

Won't you help me

Help me to let go
