"I Don't Want To Let You Go" lyrics

"I Don't Want To Let You Go"

All the times you came to me and told me that you cared
I was dreaming of happy days that we both could share
Maybe I got too excited, and maybe you freaked out
Maybe I just have to call you up and scream and shout

All of my friends tell me that I ought to play it cool
No one likes too much attention from a desperate fool
Still I don't believe that I can keep it all inside
When I see your pretty face, I almost want to cry

I know it isn't right
But still I have to fight
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go

The pain is killing me
But I can't let it be
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go

I remember the days when I was stronger than a wall
Try as anybody might, they couldn't move me at all
Now I fall to pieces when you softly call my name
Going up in smoke rings like a moth within your flame

I have lost all hope of being normal once again
I will be a slave to you until the bitter end
Even if it's a hundred years before you change your mind
I will be here waiting girl until the end of time

I know it isn't right
But still I have to fight
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go

The pain is killing me
But I can't let it be
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go
I don't wanna let you go
