| I woke up naked and alone
|
| So far, so far from my home
|
| But I won’t let go
|
| Filled up with shame and fear and doubt
|
| My dirty heart was all carved out
|
| Finally alone
|
| But I won’t let go
|
| No, I can’t let go
|
| Packed bag, ticket to Buffalo
|
| Somewhere no one really knows
|
| How dark I get
|
| Bus ride, Greyhound all the way
|
| Bounced checks, money I can’t pay
|
| Am I there yet?
|
| But I won’t let go
|
| No, I can’t let go
|
| Stained walls, leaking from the roof
|
| One light bulb makes me see the truth
|
| The waves come slow
|
| Crash hard, twenty seven years
|
| I’ve been down, drowning in my fears
|
| Oh no, not now, oh no
|
| But I won’t let go
|
| No, I can’t let go
|
| I’ve cheated and I’ve lied
|
| But at least I tried
|
| At least I tried
|
| I hold out a beggars hand
|
| But I gave all I am
|
| Gave all I am
|
| I’ve got no place to hide
|
| From the cold, hard light
|
| Of the truth that shines
|
| Braver, better men than I
|
| Have fought and died
|
| So we can try, we can try
|
| I’ve crossed rivers deep and wide
|
| I look back I’m on the other side
|
| Alive and whole
|
| But I won’t let go
|
| No, I can’t let go
|
| Yeah I won’t let go
|
| No, I can’t let go
|
| No, I won’t let go
|
| So now you know
|
| Yeah, I won’t let go
|
| No, I won’t let go |
