Won't Let Go
Fivefold Lyrics

I found a ghost of the past, a memory that last
I stumbled upon a memory from the past that still exists and affects me

Seems like yesterday that we had it made
It feels as though everything was going well just a short while ago

But this is not the way that we had planned
Things did not turn out as expected

And start to understand what happened
Trying to figure out what went wrong

To all the times and all the places
Reflecting on all the moments and locations from the past

I guess it's time, I need to face this
It's time to confront these difficult emotions

You're not here
Referring to the person who is no longer present

But you've never been so close so that's why I say
Despite their absence, they still feel close to the heart

That I won't let go, oh no, oh no
Determined to hold on to the memories and feelings associated with this person

All the memories we hold, oh no, oh no
Refers to all the cherished memories shared with the person

Teach me how to go on without you
Asking for guidance and strength to move forward in life without them

And I swear I won't let go, oh no, oh no
Promising to never forget or let go of their memories

So now it's been three years and we're all still here
Three years later, everyone continues to persevere and move forward

Living day to day, keeping your memory safe
Taking life one day at a time while preserving the memory of the person who passed away

In everything we say and do
Their presence remains with us in every aspect of our lives

We raise a glass to you, my friend
A toast to remember and honor the person

Missing you that night, it's time to face it
The emotions of missing them are intense, and it is necessary to confront them

You're right here, you've never been too far away
Despite their absence, they are still very much present in the hearts of those who loved them

To hear us say
The singer is telling the person they are not present physically, but the singer knows they can still hear them

That we won't let go, oh no, oh no
Together, they refuse to let go of the memories of the person who has passed away

They say you never know what you have
A common phrase reminding people to cherish what they have while they have it

Until it's gone
Often, it takes losing something to realize how valuable it was

These memories keep me wide awake
Memories and emotions associated with the person keep the singer up at night

I know it's been too long
The passing of time has not erased the longing and sadness of losing someone special

On the silver screen you speak to me
The person who passed away appears alive in the memories that play like movies

Out of all the things you wanted to be
Reflecting on what the person aspired to become in their lifetime

But you live on in memory
Despite their passing, the person lives on in the memories of those who loved them

And after all this time I start to see
Over time, the artist gains a deeper understanding of their feelings and the impact the lost loved one had on their life

You are the one who got us here
Acknowledging the role that the person played in the lives of those around them and the impact they had on their journey

Threw us across that line, taught us to face our fears
The person pushed and supported them to overcome their fears and reach their goals

Through stormy weather, we'll stay together
Even during difficult times, the singer and the memory of the person they lost will remain a source of strength and unity

And in our hearts you'll live forever
They will hold the memories of the person in their hearts forever

Oh no, oh no
An emotional response indicating the difficulty in letting go and moving on

I swear we won't let go
A promise to hold onto the memories of the person and keep their memory alive
