I can't hold on to you
I can't let go of you
It's all I can do
Is be true
I made a promise
Twenty-five years ago
I'd never give my heart to a man
But then I saw your eyes deep as an ocean of stars
I went back on my plan
Ooh
And we took it so far
I told you things I'd never said
We were just stuck in my bed
Staring into each other's souls
But a black hole pulled you away from me
Mm
I can't hold on to you
I can't let go of you
It's all I can do
Is be true
I can't hold on to you
I can't let go of you
It's all I can do
Is be true
Ugh
It's so cliché
To think that things could change
But I swear I glance at your name from time to time
And I wish that things were still the same
You could be my muse
And your brooding silence inspires
But our kid will probably break walls
And break glass on my favorite costume jewelry
And it's glittering all over the halls of my mind
I knew that you were trouble as soon as I saw your face
Asking questions that you knew would raise my dirtiest desires
And feed the fire that I tried to tame
But I don't have that kind of time
And God needs to keep me alive
So please forgive me
If I start acting like I am insane
I can't hold on to you
I can't let go of you
It's all I can do
Is be true
I can't hold on to you
I can't let go of you
It's all I can do
Is be true (Yeah)
