I Don't Want To Let You Go Lyrics

All the times you came to me and told me that you cared
I was dreaming of happy times that we both could share
Maybe I got too excited and maybe you freaked out
Maybe I just have to call you up and scream and shout
All of my friends tell me that I ought to play it cool
No one likes too much attention from a desperate fool
Still I don't believe that I can keep it all inside
When I see your pretty face I almost want to cry

I know it isn't right
But still I have to fight
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go

I remember the days when I was stronger than a wall
Try as anybody might they couldn't move me at all
Now I fall to pieces when you softly call my name
Going up in smoke like a moth within your flame
I have lost all hope for being normal once again
I will be a slave to you until the bitter end

Even if it's a hundred years before you change your mind
I will be here waiting girl until the end of time

The pain is killing me
But I can't let it be
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go

I know it isn't right
But still I have to fight
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go

I remember the days when I was stronger than a wall
Try as anybody might they couldn't move me at  all
Now I fall to pieces when you softly call my name
Going up in smoke like a moth within your flame
I have lost all hope for being normal once again
I will be a slave to you until the bitter end

Even if it's a hundred years before you change your mind
I will be here waiting girl until the end of time

The pain is killing me
But I can't let it be
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
