I Won't Let Go Songtext
von Matraca Berg

(Matraca Berg/Jim Photoglo)

I hear an echo through the aching distance
I know your injured voice
You stand behind this wall of ice between us
I guess you had no choice

You had to save yourself, I understand
You′re afraid to put your heart into my careless hands

Oh, they're so much stronger now
If you could find a way somehow to trust in me


I won′t let go
I won't let go
If you're in need
Hold on to me
I won′t let you go this time
This time

Sometimes a foolish heart will try to travel
Faster than the speed of grace
It′s like we try to ride off into the sunset
And fall off into space

I realized what I had done
When I almost let you crash into the sun
You were only reaching out
I will never let you down that way again

I won't let go
I will not let go
If you′re in need
Hold on to me
I won't let go
This time
