Can't Let Go

Do you understand this, cause I don’t
People either leave you, or they fail you...that’s all
There may different truth to be told

But I can’t let go
Of my old place
I can't let go
Of my old face
Of my old things
I can’t let go

Can you comprehend how I could feel
That I was never worthy of good things or love
You know it disappoints me that I see everything
Through all of these layers of colorless film
There might be a rainbow, a spectrum in my periphery
There must be a nicer thought to believe

But it’s hard to let go
Of my old place
I can't let go
Of my old face
Of my old things
Can’t let go

There’s a very old mirror that I like to look into
It always shows me the old familiar face I loathe so well
And when I look back, it looks back too oh –
Oh you’ll never know how hard it is to let go

Do you understand this, cause I don’t
The very thing that saved me will kill me – that’s all
And everyone will shake their heads and say, “how sad”

That I couldn’t let go
Of my old place
I couldn't let go
Of my old face
Of my old things
I can’t let go

I couldn’t let go
Of my old place
I can't let go
Of my old face
Of my old things
I can't let go
I can’t let go

Can't let go
