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 doing
As she hums a little tune
A sharp cloud smoke
Drifts across the room
She thinks I don't know
She thinks I don't know
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 coming home tonight
But I won't let her go
No, I won't let her go
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
I can't let her go
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, 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 nothingness leaves a scar
But I won't let her go
No, I won't let her go
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
I can't let her go
When we were young
Oh, we were young
And we were everything
When we were young
Oh, we were young
And we were everything
When we were young
Oh, we were young
And we were everything
When we were young
Oh, we were young
And we were everything
But I won't let her go
No, I won't let her go
No, I won't let her go
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
I can't let her go
I can't let her go
