I Can't Let Go Lyrics

They say nothing lasts forever
Well, I wish that that were true
'Cause this aching in my heart won't go awayThey sing, "Ev'rything must change",
They say that time will see you through
Well I've listened and I've waited for that dayBut I wake up with this anger
And the pain won't let me be
And the smile I share
Is only there for showIf I hang on to this heartache
Then my soul will not be free
So I keep trying
But I just cannot let goI can't let go
Oh, I need it to remind me
I can't let go
Oh, I just repeat the pastAnd though your arms are saying yes
I feel my heart keep saying no
I want to love you
But I can't let goI have to live through bad beginnings
And I've seen unhappy ends

So I close the book
Before the story startsI'm just a witness to my lifetime
And I'm a stranger to my friends
I'm a trafficker
Of broke and damaged heartsNow, you ask me to start over
But it's easier said than done
'Cause the memories are strong when they ariseAnd when heartache comes a-callin'
I won't even try to run
'Cause it's all that makes me know that I'm aliveI can't let go
Oh, I need it to remind me
I can't let go
Oh, I just repeat the pastAnd though your arms are saying yes
I feel my heart keep saying no
I want to love you
I want to love you
Oh, I want to love you
But I can't let goNo, I can't let go
Won't you help me?
Help me to let go
