You were sitting at your bed Grinning from ear to ear I can smell the evening Things seem pleasing to you, only you
I was waiting up for you Well I worried about you I put them to bed They missed their dad Just where the hell were you
The first stop it's always true That's my first suggestion to you I can do my best You get some rest And tell me just what you did
I want to help you I want to bring you back to life But your sad, sick brain knows one damn thing And it comes out every night
Just don't let me go Don't let me go
Your choices they're hard to make You make this harder every day I'm sure I'm leaving I'm more deceiving I'm fumbling for words to say
I gave you everything I had Well I loved you till death That heart's going to beat If you're able to breathe Surely you're dead to me
The shivers and shakes your body makes Are going to go away That's the price you pay for the games you play And nothing's going to change
I can't help you I can't bring you back to life You can find your help from someone else Who's there and has the time
Just don't let me go Don't let me go Don't let me go Don't let me go
Try to get dressed And you put your shoes on Let's get to the car Let's make this right
The drive is short but it sure feels long That's just how it is when you're leaving home This isn't the end of your life It's more like a pause and soon a start
Back on your feet again in no time But if you're not with me, well I'm just not fine
I tried convincing God to change you We had it out, and he said, "No" Said a choice is a choice, and he says you made it He'll help you along, but God why is nothing free?
You filled me up with hope, God, I used it I used it all on you, can't you see? There comes a time when you choose for another So I'm making this choice Just for the three that we made too
So just let me go Just let me go Just let me go Just let me go Just let me go Just let me go Just let me go Just let me go
