Can't Let Go

I remember
I was there
Maybe held you
In my hands
Who could harm you
Who would dare
I would guard you
Till my end
I was protector
Maybe friend
I was mother
Sister and
Fight for you I'd
Die for you
Even though
You didn't want me to
Oh

And I can't let go
I won't let go
No no
Cuz I see his plans for you
They're so good
So good
He says so
Don't you let go

Push and shove me
I push too
I get angry
I won't move
I could cut and
I could bruise but
When I hurt you
I hurt too
Flesh and bone
And bit of the soul
With words designed
To establish control
And I missed it
I didn't see
All the times
That you needed me
Oh

And I can't let go
I won't let go
No no
Cuz I see his plans for you
They're so good
So good
He says so
So I'll keep crying and
Fighting and
Praying for you
Oh oh
So don't you let go

See I
Made mistakes I wish I could take back
Heard the things I wish I had said I
Feel the pain I tried to ignore then
Feel the shame
Of holding me back I
Wish that I could go back and fix this
Hold your hand
I wish I had done this I
Think that could have been kinder I
Wanna try
I wanna try now
Oh
