Won’t Let Her Go

Won't Let Her Go; Ordinary World ('06); Trk 12

She doesn't close the door, as she visits the bathroom; the sound of flushing water, comes a little bit too soon; I wonder what she's doin', as she hums a little tune; a sharp cloak of smoke, drifts across the roo-oo-oom

She thinks, I don't know; she thinks, I don't know-oh-oh; oh, but I know

Her phone rings once again, in the middle of the night; "Hello," I answer, as I fumble for the light; I reach across the bed, and it's then I realize; she hasn't come home, she's not comin' home tonight

(Chorus: But I won't let her go; no, I won't let her go-oh-oh; I won't let her go. ‘Cause I can't let her go; I can't let her go; I can't let her go-oo-oh; I can't let her go-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh)-oo-oh-oo-oh
One night as we're driving, to some place I'm not sure where; there's a strange sort of tension, hanging in the air; and she turns to me and says, "Honey I swear; that, I, don't, care, about you"

She thinks, I don't know; she thinks, I don't know-oh-oh; oh, but I know

And then when we get home, we just sit there in the car; I simply stare ahead, and wonder how we got this far; I try to imagine, the breaking of my heart; but I feel nothing, and that nothing it leaves a scar

(Chorus)
(When we were young; oh, we were young; and we were everything) (x 4)

But I won't let her go; no, I won't let her go; no, I won't let her go-oh-oh; I won't let her go

‘Cause I can't let her go; I can't let her go; no, I can't let her go-oo-oh; I can't let her go-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh; I can't let her go
