Can't Let You Go Lyrics

Guess it was not meant to be
It's not as bad at it seems
It only burns when I breath (yeah, Yeah)
You saw the way that I fell
But I'm better off by myself
That's the tale that I'd like to tell
yeah

But it's not that easy for me to say goodbye
And everything in me wants you back in my life
Can't let you go
Can't let you go

It feels like dawn of the dead
The bombs going off in my head
Never a moment of rest (yeah, yeah)
Nothing kills more than to know
That this is the end of the road
and I know that I've got to let go

But it's never easy for me to say goodbye
Everything in me wants you back in my life
Can't let you go
Can't let you go
Can't let you go
Can't let you go
(oh, ooooooooh, oooooh [multiple times])

Wish I could just find away
To have all your memories erased
Cause constantly there haunting me, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's not that easy for me to say goodbye
And everything in me, wants you back in my life
Can't let you go
Can't let you go
Can't let you go
Can't let you go

I can't let you go (oh, oh, oh)
I can't let you go (oh, oh, oh)

He's lying to himself, saying that he's so much better off without this other person, but knows it's all a lie.

But it's not that easy for me to say goodbye And everything in me wants you back in my life Can't let you go Can't let you go

He feels like he can't go on without this person, but he knows that he can't have them go. He just can't seem to get over the person, no matter how hard he tries.

It feels like dawn of the dead The bombs going off in my head Never a moment of rest (yeah, yeah) Nothing kills more than to know That this is the end of the road and I know that I've got to let go

He's finally admitting that he has to let go. Maybe over the "denial". He feels like he's dead without this person - maybe depressed, and all that he can think of is this failed relationship.

Wish I could just find away To have all your memories erased Cause constantly there haunting me, yeah, yeah, yeah

He wishes he could just forget everything and move on, but knows it's not that easy. He still feels like they should be together, and it's breaking him up inside.

Beautiful song by a beautiful man. It makes me cry everytime I hear it - his voice is so powerful and amazing. I can't help but be reduced to tears by his ballad-type songs - escpecially a song like this that hits home so well for all of us.
