Never Let You Go
Temperance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can feel it your pressures on me
Now there's new life beaming bringing about the crowds
And now I can hear it your apologies in shame
Destined to search for the cure for this selfish game
Now I feel there was something special between us
And you know that I was not the leaving kind
And I promised to always stand by my vows
Trust me baby...
Because...

I'll never let you go
I would never set you apart in a thousand years
I care for you too much
Like my mother, my father and sister too
Understand that you are my friend
'Cause the choice simply lies in your hands right now
You have to make your decision
So overcome the past and think for now
I would never let you go

You have no reason to pretend that you are my friend
I would never let you go

I can feel it your animosity in me
Much displeasure has overlooked upon you now
I hear you calling only when you're feeling lonely
What am I to do I fall right back into your trap
Now I feel the time has come for you to know
That I am aware of those games you had me going
Tricked me like some fool
Did you think you would succeed
Now baby understand...

That I'll never let you go
I would never set you apart in a thousand years
I care for you too much
Like my mother, my father and sister too
Understand that you are my friend
'Cause the choice simply lies in your hands right now
You have to make your decision
So overcome the past and think for now
I would never let you go
I would never let you go

You have gotten yourself into
troubles without realizing
But don't forget..




That I'll never let you go
I would never let you go
