I've been crying tears For so many years Wondering how long It will take to catch up to me Now I understand Yes I've shown my hand It's up to you to let me stay or to leave Girl I've got to stay That's the only way If you leave me now We can work it out Try to see me straight Let's not hesitate Please, don't let it go Hold me close and let it go All those wasted times That you spent I find Teally meant more Than I ever knew And when you needed me I just couldn't be The one to find the straight and narrow Girl I've got to stay That's the only way If you leave me now We can work it out Try to see me straight Let's not hesitate Please, don't let it go Hold me close and let it go It doesn't take a desert to show you You know you need the water to live, live, live Now you got the choice Please don't turn your voice In the cross way Or to sentence me See we made it here I just won't disappear And let you carve this into eternity You've just gotta You've just gotta You've just gotta You've just gotta let it go Gotta let you go I just gotta let you go
