Don't You Know Lyrics

Well there's a lot left I'd like to say

'Cause I'm still trying to make things go my way

And I know this old dog will never change

I fear I'll always feel the same

And it seems like there's nothing left to gain

And when won't I shudder at the sound of your name

And from the outside things may look the same

But only I know I'm losing it more each day

Don't you know

Don't you know

I can't let go

And the solution now is plain to see

'Cause I can't risk running into you on the street

So boys don't bother saving me a seat

'Cause I'm leaving here tomorrow for Tennessee

Don't you know

Don't you know

I can't let go

And one day I'll climb that red oak tree

But I've got to run until I'm nothing

If I'm ever gonna be free

And it's the loss of potential that vexes me

And I'd be lying if I didn't say I hope

You find me

Don't you know

Don't you know

I can't let go
