lyrics

I held on the best I could
Even though I knew it wasn't doing you any good
I was not ready to cut you loose
And I guess me holding on is a form of abuse
The pros and cons I was debating
But in the end my love was suffocating

No, no, no
Don't wanna be letting go of you
No, no
Don't wanna be letting go adieu

I tried to justify these primal actions
But they were all based on primal abstractions
One wants to care just not too much
One wants to hold on but not clutch
I should've considered the long-term effects
But for me that way of thinking was much too complex

Last week I went to see the life you built
Part of me was proud but part felt guilt
You seemed OK but a little lonely
And I worried about my one and only
How much more might you have done
If you just had been someone else's son
