[Verse 1 – (Lead 1)]
You left your jacket on the back of my chair
Still smells like you, girl, the ghost is still there
[Verse 1 cont. – (Lead 2)]
Photos in my phone, yeah, I try to delete
But even in silence, you’re stuck on repeat
[Pre-Chorus – (All, with falsetto overlays)]
We said forever, now we barely speak
But my heart don’t follow what my mind believes
[Chorus – (All harmonized, falsetto hooks at end)]
I can’t let you go, I’ve tried, I’ve tried
You’re still in my veins, still crossing my mind
Even when I sleep, you show up in dreams
Like a song on loop that still cuts deep
(I can’t… I can’t… let you go…)
Oh no, I can’t let you go
[Verse 2 – (Lead 3)]
New names, new faces — none of them hit
I fake a smile, but it don’t fit
[Verse 2 cont. – (Lead 4)]
Told my boys I’m good, played the role
But they see right through, yeah, they already know
[Pre-Chorus – (All, lead ad-libs)]
We said forever, now we barely speak
But your shadow’s dancing where you used to be
[Chorus – (All, stronger percussion and falsetto top line)]
I can’t let you go, I’ve tried, I’ve tried
You’re still in my veins, still crossing my mind
Even when I sleep, you show up in dreams
Like a song on loop that still cuts deep
(I can’t… I can’t… let you go…)
Oh no, I can’t let you go
[Bridge – (All a cappella, then build)]
Can’t outrun it, can’t drown it out
Your name’s still burning through the crowd
You were the rhythm, now I’m off beat
Still chasing your echo in every street
[Final Chorus – (All, layered vocals, high harmony)]
I can’t let you go, I’ve tried, I’ve tried
You’re still in my blood, still stuck in time
No matter the city, no matter the show
You’re the line I can’t outgrow
(I can’t… I can’t… let you go…)
Oh no, I can’t let you go
[Outro – (Falsetto solo + group harmony)]
Girl… you’re the part of me I can’t outgrow
I can’t let you go…
