lyrics

I held on to you 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
No, no, don't wanna be letting go of you
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

You were my single most precious thing
And my intentions were always pure
I was only trying to find a way
To make my love for you endure
But I got hung up on my own needs
And I did not see you were trying to grow
All I knew was my selfish heart
And I did not want to let you go, no

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
