Like hell it don’t matter; you never could tell me
The things that you needed to say
Whatever the reason you’re always avoiding
I wish there some other way
Just how many times have I said it before and I’ll probably say it again?
(Chorus)
But I know what you’re thinking
Yes I’m sure that you’re leaving
Don’t you let go of me
Don’t you let go of me tonight
So why am I reaching for something so faint
Well I thought it was time to respond
You think that it’s easy to know what you want
Like I just wave some magical wand
So what if I told you what you wanted to hear would it really make a difference?
(Repeat chorus)
(Bridge)
This is it; don’t you see that you can’t have it all?
Might as well brace ourselves, we’re headed for a fall
And I used to think, we could get back in synch
But it’s gone
I don’t need reminded just how I should feel
But apologies can’t be resolved
You’re hurting me more by resisting the truth
All the times you hung up when I called
And maybe for once I’m reluctant at best when I know that it’s all I have left
Still I know what you’re thinking
Yes this time you’ll be leaving
Don’t you let go of me
Don’t you let go of me
Don’t you let go of me tonight
