Can't Let Go

In a world where being sensible means holding back
How am I suppose to say what's on my mind?
In a world that taught me how to say what's in my heart
Why am I suppose to keep it to myself?
In a world where being honest always has it's price
How much do I pay and where do I sign?

And when the curtain falls too soonn
Alone inside an empty room
I'll still be waiting there for you

The longer that it takes to say good-bye
The stronger the fire will burn inside
But I... I can't let go

In a world where getting hurt is just another fact of life
Where am I suppose to go to dry my tears?
In a world where common sense tells me to turn the page
Why do I find it so hard to walk away?

And when the curtain falls too soon
Alone inside an empty room
I'll still be waiting there for you

And when the camera fades to gray
And you've said all you've had to say
There's still the memory of your face

The longer that it takes to say good-bye
The stronger the fire will burn inside
But I
The longer that it takes to say good-bye
The stronger the fire will burn inside
But I... I can't let go
