"Can't Let It Go" lyrics

You said you'd light a candle
And you'd say a prayer for me
Well, I feel the light has dimmed and gone
And half the world is begging
While the other half steals
Where did everything go wrong?

Some days I can't believe
Others, I'm on my knees
Trying to be heard

I was your anger
And you were my fear
And now that it's over
Of course it's so clear
But you were no angel
And I was no sin
But somehow I can't let it go
Can't let it go

Half the world is sleeping
While the other half dreams
You close your eyes
And then you're gone
And maybe my intentions have been misunderstood
I know you feel so beautifully wronged

Some days I can't believe
Others, I'm on my knees
Hoping I belong

I was your anger
And you were my fear
And now that it's over
Of course it's so clear
But you were no angel
And I was no sin
But somehow I can't let it go
Can't let it go

And laughter is my soul's release
But we're not smiling anymore
And can't we try to win this peace?
'Cause we're never gonna win
Never gonna win this war

I was your anger
And you were my fear
And now that it's over
Of course it's so clear
But you were no angel
And I was no sin
But somehow I can't let it go
Can't let it go
