Lyrics:
Would you wait for me today
Tomorrow while I was gone
And try to say goodbye
But your heart won't let me go
If you took it all away
And doubt that I will be okay
I'm tired of wasting all this time
But things I'll know that won't be mine

Lyrics:
Would you tell me and you fail to fall the love
And disappear
That you had given up
But your heart won't let you go
I remember the days
When you would smile and softly say
I'm tired of wasting all this time
Of the things that I have left behind
2nd CHORUS (1:32):
==================
Repeat Chorus.
Lyrics:
Did you find and I can't let you go
I know that I will never know
All I know is I can't let you go
Everytime I think I'm getting close
I know that I will never know
All I know is I can't let you go
