I Won't Let Go

(album: Fear Inside Our Bones - 2013)

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
