I Can't Let Go Lyrics - Smash Cast

They say nothing lasts forever 

Well, I wish that that were true 

'Cause this aching in my heart won't go away 

They sing, "Ev'rything must change", 

They say that time will see you through 

Well I've listened and I've waited for that day 

But I wake up with this anger 

And the pain won't let me be 

And the smile I share 

Is only there for show 

If I hang on to this heartache 

Then my soul will not be free 

So I keep trying 

But I just cannot let go 

I can't let go 

Oh, I need it to remind me 

I can't let go 

Oh, I just repeat the past 

And though your arms are saying yes 

I feel my heart keep saying no 

I want to love you 

But I can't let go 

I have to live through bad beginnings 

And I've seen unhappy ends 

So I close the book 

Before the story starts 

I'm just a witness to my lifetime 

And I'm a stranger to my friends 

I'm a trafficker 

Of broke and damaged hearts 

Now, you ask me to start over 

But it's easier said than done 

'Cause the memories are strong when they arise 

And when heartache comes a-callin' 

I won't even try to run 

'Cause it's all that makes me know that I'm alive 

I can't let go 

Oh, I need it to remind me 

I can't let go 

Oh, I just repeat the past 

And though your arms are saying yes 

I feel my heart keep saying no 

I want to love you 

I want to love you 

Oh, I want to love you 

But I can't let go 

No, I can't let go 

Won't you help me? 

Help me to let go
