You said it'd go away
So why is it taking so long?
You said it was a test of time
so I'm still trying to be strong
Pre-Chorus
I'll be brave
Even when there's nothing left to take
I'm holding o-n-n to your last words
"Don't let them go, don't let them get hurt"
And I'll obey
For there's no other way
But I wish you could've stayed
Sometimes I fear bad will triumph over good
That hate will beat love
I need you to remind me
I just need to look up above
I'll have hope
And I'll do my best to cope
I'm holding o-n-n to your last words
"Don't let them go, don't let them get hurt"
And I'll obey
For there's no other way
But I wish you could've stayed
I can never take your place
And I long to see your face
I do know why you couldn't stay
But I wish you could've done it anyway
But I'm still holding o-n to your last words
"Don't let them go, don't let them get hurt"
And I'll obey
For forever and a day because there's no other way
Outro
But still no matter how I try to forget
I'll always wish you could have not left
