I can't let go
Ooh, baby

There you are holding her hand
I am lost
Dying to understand
Didn't I cherish you right
Don't you know you were my life

Chorus:
Even though I try, I can't let go
Something in your eyes
Captured my soul
And every night, I see you in my dreams
You're all I know
I can't let go

Just cast aside
You don't even know I'm alive
You just walk on by
Don't care to see me cry
And here I am
Still holding on
I can't accept
My world is gone, no, no

Chorus

Do you even realize the sorrow I have inside
Every day of my life
Do you know the way it feels
When all you have just dies
I try and try to deny that I need you
But, still you remain on my mind
