Never Let Go
Fly Upright Kite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I would never have let you go,
I would never leave your heart cold.
You knew I could change
The very breathing moment if you asked me to
You didn't have to go while I was changing for you.
When you packed to leave
I knew I could have made you understand
Only if you gave me the chance.
If you want me here again
Hold on to my heart that let you in
Cause we should never let go
Of what most can only dream
We could have worked it out
The differences that ripped us further apart
I would have done anything to get you to stay.
What were you after?
You were in a hurry to hide your soaked green eyes,
As you walked past me and straight out the front door.
Did you want me to ignore?
Every promise we made?
I know I'm inconsistent at my best,
Promises break as you learn to forget.
If you want me here again
Hold on to my heart that let you in
Cause we should never let go
Of what most can only dream
