"Why Do We Let Go?"

You say goodbye before the storm is gone,

Leave me standing where we both belong.

Every fight becomes a one-way road,

You carry silence like a heavy load.

You look at me like I've already left,

Like my heart is something you don't get.

You think I'm searching for somebody new,

But every dream I ever had was you.

And I don't know why you keep running away,

Turning love into a game we never play.

If you'd listen to the words I never hide,

You would see I'm still right here by your side.

Why do we always let go

Instead of holding hands and starting again?

Why do we build these walls so high

When we're stronger together than we've ever been?

You walk away without respect,

Leaving every promise hanging in the air.

You think I'm looking for someone else,

But all I've ever wanted is you there.

Why do we always let go,

When we could choose to stay?

Every ending feels the same somehow,

A slammed door and another broken vow.

You never stop to ask me what I feel,

You already judge what's fake or real.

You think my freedom means I don't care,

But love was always something I would share.

I never wanted a hundred different hearts,

I only wanted us, right from the start.

And I don't know why you keep running away,

Turning love into a game we never play.

If you'd listen to the words I never hide,

You would see I'm still right here by your side.

Why do we always let go

Instead of holding hands and starting again?

Why do we build these walls so high

When we're stronger together than we've ever been?

You walk away without respect,

Leaving every promise hanging in the air.

You think I'm looking for someone else,

But all I've ever wanted is you there.

Why do we always let go,

When we could choose to stay?

Maybe love is not about who's right or wrong,

Maybe it's about staying when the nights are long.

I'm tired of proving what my heart has always known,

That I never wanted this road alone.

So if you're listening, don't close the door tonight,

Don't throw away what we can still make right.

Take my hand before the feeling fades away,

For once, choose love and choose to stay.

Why do we always let go

Instead of holding hands and starting again?

Why do we build these walls so high

When we're stronger together than we've ever been?

You walk away without respect,

Leaving every promise hanging in the air.

You think I'm looking for someone else,

But all I've ever wanted is you there.

Why do we always let go,

When we could choose to stay?

Why do we always let go,

When love is asking us to stay?

I never needed anyone but you,

Never wanted something new.

Through every goodbye, through every pain,

I'd still take your hand and start again.

Start again...

Start again...

If you'd only stay.
