Just Can't Let You Go (song 2009)

Also only a vocal melody song - no instrumentals yet.

I was only, 7 years old,

When you walked away

I wondered if we’d be okay

Your lies were always open

Your secrets up to grab

You let us to believe that you actually cared

(chorus)

Oh but now

No matter how hard I try

And how many tears I cry

I just can’t let you go

And now

We may stand here and fight

Screaming straight through the night

But I just can’t let you go

(end chorus)

We stare at you with a drink in your hand

Making everything about you

What did we ever do to you?

You broke apart our family

Yet you don’t regret a thing

There’s shattered glass along the floor

Our picture torn to shreds

(chorus

Oh but now

No matter how hard I try

And how many tears I cry

I just can’t let you go

And now

We may stand here and fight

Screaming straight through the night

But I just can’t let you go

(end chorus)

Don’t you remember?

Why can’t you be sober?

Oh cry m e a river.

I don’t wanna hear you’re sorry anymore

Don’t you remember?

Why can’t you be sober?

I’m sick of the fighting

I don’t want to be around you anymore.

But no matter how I try

And how many tears I may cry

I just can’t let you go

I just can’t let you go.
