I Cannot Let You Go

We're sleight of hand

And force of will

Closets full of outsized shoes to fill

I better be

A gifted kid

To undo some of the deeds you did

And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight

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

Forgive you anything

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

I cannot 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 laws

But you defy all sense at any cost

And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight

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

Forgive you anything

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

I cannot let you go

I cannot let you go

I cannot let you go

And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight

You're gonna be alone gonna be alone gonna be late

Forgive you anything

Try to shake it but it just won't do

And it's all coming back to me now

So let's pretend to make up something new

But there's no getting back to the start

I'll be a father you can be a son

Till I can't even tell us apart

Try to shake it but the deal is done

You can push me away but I cannot let you go

I cannot 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
