Well youre the closest thing I have

To bring up in a conversation

About a love that didnt last

But I could never call you mine

Cause I could never call myself yours

And if we were really meant to be

Well then we justify destiny

Its not that our love died

Just never really bloomed

Well I cant let go

No, I cant let go of you

Youre holding me back without even trying to.

I cant let go

I cant move on from the past

Without lifting a finger youre holding me back.

And then we saw our paths diverge

And I guess I felt OK about it.

Until you got with another man,

And then I couldnt understand

Why it bothered me so.

How we didnt die we just

Never had a chance to grow.

I cant let go

No, I cant let go of you

Youre holding me back without even trying to.

I cant let go

I cant move on from the past.

Without lifting a finger youre holding me back.

And it might not make much sense

To you or any of my friends

Though somehow still you affect the

Things I do.

And you cant lose what you never had

I dont understand why I feel sad

Every time I see you out with someone new.

I cant let go

No, I cant let go

No, I cant let go of you.

I cant let go

No, I cant let go of you

Youre holding me back without even trying to.

I cant let go

I cant move on from the past

Without lifting a finger youre holding me back.

I cant let go

No, I cant let go of you

Youre holding me back without even trying to.

I cant let go

I cant move on from the past
