Afraid of Letting Go

Mixed Emotions

Afraid of Letting Go

Every night

I gave myself three wishes

'cos I believed

I had a secret god

we made a deal

that you would stay together

but he let me down

you told me things

beyond my understanding

the pain of love

I didn't wanna feel

but through the walls

I could hear you crying

and I can't sleep

and now, he holds me in his arms

and says our love will last

forever, I'll never be alone

but still the little girl inside

is here within my life

and I'm afraid of letting go

nursery rhymes

sung to me a bathtime

will always be

a favourite memory

of long ago

before the dream was over

and the love had gone

finally, relieved that it was ending

I told myself

I didn't really care

I made a god

for something to believe in

but no one's there

and now, he holds me in his arms

and says our love will last

forever, I'll never be alone

but still the little girl inside

is here within my life

and I'm afraid of letting go

but still the little girl inside

is here within my life

and I'm afraid of letting go
