In all my memories
Times with you and me
I'd see your face and
All else would fade away
I loved you more with time
Invincible with you in my life
I grew closer to you as you grew
Further and further away
I thought I could keep up,
Thought we could make it if I tried
I thought fate was on my side
Thought you just needed time
But it was just me, all in my head
All that love you had was dead
It was just mine left holding on
When I didn't know yours was gone
I thought you were falling,
so I held on tight.
I wouldn't let go of you
without a fight.
I didn't know I was holding you down,
Didn't know I was holding you back,
I couldn't believe you could walk away, (how could you?)
Couldn't believe you didn't feel the same (why?)
I look down at these hands
that once held yours,
Wondering what they did wrong,
holding on or letting go?
I'm searching through the heart
that kept loving yours,
Wishing I could change it,
why can't I stop loving you yet?
It was easy for you to let go,
to reject me, what did you see?
What did I miss?
How could I want to hold on to you after this?
