Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't let her go, but she'll leave you high & dry
I can't go back, to let time decide
You're out on your own, but you'll do just fine
Scared of letting go, but just listen to your mind
Because our love, is all a sleepless night
I just wanna hold you, I'll try
I can't really love you, I've tried
But if we all fall in line, we'll meet again sometime
I just wanna hold you, I'll try
I can't really love you, I've tried
But if it all falls in line, we'll meet again sometime
Don't let her
go
I know they're hard to find
But you'll come to know, that there is another side
I can't go back, to let time decide
Oh you change your tone, every other night
Don't know where to go, only here out of spite
I can't go back, to let time decide
Because our love, is one sleepless night
I just wanna hold you, I'll try
I can't really love you, I've tried
But if we all fall in line, we'll meet again sometime
I just wanna hold you, I'll try
I can't really love you, I've tried
But if it all falls in line, we'll meet again sometime
Don't let her
I just wanna hold you, I'll try
I can't really love you, I've tried
But if it all falls in line, we'll meet again sometime
I just wanna hold you, I'll try
I can't really love you, I've tried
But if it all falls in line, we'll meet again sometime
