[Verse 1]
Twenty years in love with you,
we stood stronger than they knew.
It's not healthy, let it go..
but we knew what they did not know.
[Verse 2]
The love we had was strong and true
No matter what, we made it through.
They said it's toxic, it won't last long,
yet through it all, our love stood strong!
[Chorus 1]
Hold on when you know it's real...
Make things right, take time to heal.
Twenty years has helped me see,
If it's real, it's meant to be.
[Chorus 2]
But, listen to me, listen good.
Don't hold on longer than you should...
Don't worry it's never goodbye,
They're in your heart, Each tear you cry.
[Verse 3]
The love we shared was more than love,
it had to be from up above.
the way the stars aligned just right,
when we fell hard that autumn night.
[Verse 4]
We were on and off again,
Both playing games, wanting to win.
We fought so hard, it looked so wrong,
but babe, we knew our love was strong!
[Chorus 1][Drop]
Hold on when you know it's real...
Make things right, take time to heal.
Twenty years has helped me see,
If it's real, it's meant to be.
[Chorus 3]
But, listen to me, listen good.
Don't hold on longer than you should...
Don't worry it's never goodbye,
They're in your heart, each tear you cry.
[Verse 5]
We fell in love so long ago,
I loved you more than you could know.
Though it was tough at times back then,
we fought like hell, we fought to win!
[Verse 6]
Twenty years in, we got the news...
We faced a fight that we would lose.
He was so young, it wasn't right...
he wouldn't go without a fight.
[Verse 7]
The cancer won, and this was it,
the time you get, is what you get.
He didn't look like him at all,
I couldn't see his face at all...
[Chorus 1][Drop]
Hold on when you know it's real...
Make things right, take time to heal.
Twenty years has helped me see,
If it's real, it's meant to be.
[Verse 8]
But holding his hand... the day he died...
I felt his love... there by my side.
Don't worry this is not... goodbye,
You're in my heart... each tear, I cry.
[Bridge]
Babe, it's okay to let go...
because I love you, You must know,
I have to finally let go...
You have been called to go home.
[Chorus 1][Drop]
Hold on when you know it's real...
Make things right, take time to heal.
Twenty years has helped me see,
If it's real, it's meant to be.
[Verse 9]
...There will be times... I'll long for you!
But I'll be strong... ... ...I promise you!
The love we shared will light my way!
And guide me through my darkest days!
[Outro][Soft]
