Lyrics
Ballad
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.
You were a shining light, engulfing me in your light
A million love songs wasn't enough
But then he took you away and our love just fades away
I never thought that we'd not be in love
He will only make you cry, he'll never say goodbye
He'll never even try to please you
I will not let you go, I won't let you go now baby
He will only make you cry, he'll make you want to die
He'll treat you like you're nothing special
I will not let you go, I won't let you go now baby
I used to count the days that we'd been together
Every day was an anniversary
The world is such an ugly place without me seeing your face
You were the isle that saved me from the sea
He will only make you cry, he'll never say goodbye
He'll never even try to please you
I will not let you go, I won't let you go now baby
He will only make you cry, he'll make you want to die
He'll treat you like you're nothing special
I will not let you go, I won't let you go now baby
I miss just walking and talking with you
So much more than a girlfriend
We're still together every time I close my eyes
The world makes me fall apart, somedays I cannot stand
You were my oxygen
But now you're with some other guy, you say it wasn't love
Well I'm sorry to say that it was
He will only make you cry, he'll never say goodbye
He'll never even try to please you
I will not let you go, I won't let you go now baby
He will only make you cry, he'll make you want to die
He'll treat you like you're nothing special
I will not let you go, I won't let you go now baby
I miss just walking and talking with you
He only wants your ride
Please admit to yourself that you and me were destiny
He will only make you cry, he'll never say goodbye
He'll never even try to please you
I will not let you go, I won't let you go now baby
He will only make you cry, he'll make you want to die
He'll treat you like you're nothing special
I will not let you go, I won't let you go now baby
I can't let go of you, my heart's still locked in yours
I can't let go of you, my heart's still locked in yours
I can't let go of you, my heart's still locked in yours
I can't let go of you, my heart's still locked in yours
I miss just seeing and being with you
I got your tattoo
Not using a laser
I'll burn it off with the flame I still burn for you
He will only make you cry, he'll never say goodbye
He'll never even try to please you
I will not let you go, I won't let you go now baby
He will only make you cry, he'll make you want to die
He'll treat you like you're nothing special
I will not let you go, I won't let you go now baby
I love you too much to ever let go
I love you so much that you'll never really know
