Can't Let You Go

(album: The Rewire - 2011)

This is a story about a girl that never let me down,
Even though she's got a man she still comes around.
Does that thing like no other girl,
Like she wants to prove that she's the hottest in the whole world.
Pretty much a solid ten,
Meets me at the park so we can,
Sneak freak again and again.
From the back seat of my ride to the scratches on my back,
Out of control breathing like an asthma attack.
You want to break away so we can be official,
Its wrong to love a married woman, but I can't resist her.
3 o'clock in the morning, I'm sneaking out again,
So close to the fire,
I hate to be the liar.
Damn, I probably should have never took the first hit,
But by the third time, mama I just couldn't quit.
And now I'm locked in this game,
Refuse to walk away 'cause he could never love you my way.

He could never love you girl, (ever)
The way that I will, (yeah)
Can't you understand, (can't you understand)
All these things I feel?
Never let you go, (that's right)
Even though what we got
Is a secret that no one's supposed to know. (no one's supposed to know)
I can't let you go.

I'm trying to hold you,
But I'm losing my grip.
Trying to keep you by my side,
But you're starting to slip.
Secret lovers in the dark,
Crazy meetings at the park.
It started like a game,
But now you're messing with my heart.
I love your touch, your kiss, and your frame,
Our bodies melt together like we're burning into flames.
I'm taking crazy chances when he's not at home,
Leaving marks on my body, but I'm coming back for more.
Its dangerous when you believe in your own lies,
Even though she's not mine, a sin, a crime.
Inside of me I know the right from the wrong,
Every time she kisses me or plays that song.
I feel this adrenaline, its something like a rush,
Inside of me I feel my heart starting to thrust.
And I can never let you go because you mean so much.

He could never love you girl, (and he could never love you)
The way that I will, (the way that I do)
Can't you understand, (can't you understand)
All these things I feel?
Never let you go,
Even though what we got
Is a secret that nobody's supposed to know. (no one's supposed to know)
I can't let you go.

I think that we should stop and think about the consequences,
Its like I'm risking everything for this amazingness.
When your body and your mind is in complete submission,
When my conscious can't stop the heavy kissing.
The phone's on the dresser, ringing off the hook,
But we can't stop, mama please don't look.
You see, I'm about to be up in the clouds,
And you take me so high that I ain't never coming down.

He could never love you girl,
The way that I will,
Can't you understand, (can't you understand)
All these things I feel?
Never let you go,
Even though what we got
Is a secret that nobody's supposed to know. (supposed to know)
I can't let you go. (let you go)

He can never love you like I will,
Oh no,
Tell me you'll never let go,
'cause I love you so.

I can't let you go.
