couldn't let go Lyrics

I think the worst part of this

With you over there and me over here

Is how hard that it is to ever let go

Gasping for breath

The smoke in the air with a cold haziness

And a wound in the chest

Couldn't ever let go

Every day that we spoke

We tried to abide with a heartfelt goodbye

Solid ground in our fist

Turned to dust in the morn'

In the grave of hope

At the train station home

Can we ever let go?

When you're all alone

And you ache to the bone

Can we ever let go?

I heard your voice break

Last week on the telephone

I wanted to shake every rock, every stone

Just to carry you home

I couldn't let go

So I wrote you this poem

While I'm working alone

With a cold coffee taste

In my mouth just to say

That I wouldn't let go

I'm sorry for the pain

Because I didn't let go
