The Act of Holding on and Letting Go

You can't stand in my doorway for long

It's eleven o'clock, he's expecting you home

I'll walk you up the hill to your car

Because you parked in the dark in our favorite spot

And I'll collapse to my knees and beg you

"Please, honey bee"

And said no, don't let go, don't let this die

What I said was nothing I meant, it was all a lie

I don't need your sympathy, I just need to know

What I did to ruin this and turn your body cold?

But I felt the warmth of your shine

It started melting the ice, you're the sun in my sky

Just know it was your choice to love

If you walk through that door, there will be no us

And I'll collapse to my knees and beg you

"Please, remember me"

I'll still be your flower if you'll be my bee

We can sit inside and wait for the spring

Just don't make me sit through this winter alone

I know I'm dead from the roots, I'm last season's bloom

I have nothing else to offer you, just the hole in my chest

From where you've sucked me dry

So don't let go, don't let this die

I'll admit, I can't exist without you in my life
