  • Time passes by
    Think about you everyday
    And why, I can't explain

    You already broke my back
    Why am I the one still hoping
    That we can remain?

    Holding on to you
    Is a menace to my soul
    Don't you know?

    And letting go is truly
    A freedom still unknown
    So I hold
    I'm not letting go

    Do you think that giving up
    Shows the courage you'd hope to put up?
    Why can't you stay?
    All be fair in love and war
    Why do you have to leave me here
    To drift away

    Holding on to you
    Is a menace to my soul
    Don't you know?

    And letting go is truly
    A freedom still unknown
    So I hold

    White knuckle grips
    Still you slip through my hands
    Leave me wanting more
    Whoa, so you warned me

    How much more can I take?
    How much more can I take?
    Before, before I can wonder?

    Kiss me on the mouth
    Maybe, later you can figure out
    What it all means

    Holding on to you
    Is a menace to my soul
    Don't you know?

    And letting go is truly
    A freedom still unknown
    So I hold
    I'm not letting go

    I'm not, I'm not letting go
    I'm not, I'm not letting go
    No, I'm not letting go Publisher: A SIDE MUSIC LLC D/B/A MODERN WORKS MUSIC PUBLISHING
