I Cannot Let You Go

With a sleight of hand

and a force of will

Closets full of odd-sized shoes to fill

I better be

a gifted kid

To undo some of the deeds you did

In 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

You're gonna be alone,gonna be alone,it's gonna be late

Forgive you anything

I try to shake it but it just won't do

And it's all coming back to me now

So we'll pretend,I'll make up something new

You can push me away but

I cannot let you go （let you go）

I cannot let you go （let you go）

I cannot let you go

The rubber band

is wearing thin

bursting as reality kicks in

All hope should be

at long last lost

but you'll defy all sense at any cost

In 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

You're gonna be alone,gonna be alone,it's gonna be late

Forgive you anything

I try to shake it but it just won't do

And it's all coming back to me now

So we'll pretend,I'll make up something new

But there's no getting back to the start

I try to shake it but it just won't do

You can push me away but

I cannot let you go （let you go）

I cannot let you go （let you go）

I cannot let you go

I cannot let you go

In 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

You're gonna be alone,gonna be alone,it's gonna be late

Forgive you anything

I try to shake it but it just won't do

And it's all coming back to me now

So let's pretend,I'll make up something new

But there's no getting back to the start

I'll be a father,you can be a son

'til I can't even tell us apart

I try to shake it but the deal is done

You can push me away but

I cannot let you go （let you go）

I cannot let you go （let you go）

Try as I may,I know

I cannot let you go

I cannot let you go

I cannot let you go

I cannot let you go

I cannot let you go

I cannot let you go.
