"Let Go" lyrics

The closer we get
The further you pull away
You keep your distance
And expect me to stay
What you're holding on to
God only knows
If you want me to leave I'll leave
But if you love me let go

I keep holding out
You keep holding on
To a rock in that river
Of fear all alone
It's destined to rise
And rage out of control
Sooner or later
You're gonna have to let go

Don't let what's over
Continue to live
I don't want to pay for
What someone else did
You're only protecting
Your heart girl I know
What good's a bad memory
If you love me let go

I keep holding out
You keep holding on
To a rock in that river
Of fear all alone
It's a fight for survival
Believe me I know
Sooner or later
You're gonna have to let go
Hey, sooner or later
We all have to let go
