Afraid Of Letting Go

Every night
I gave myself three wishes
'cos I believed
I had a secret god
we made a deal
that you would stay together
but he let me down
you told me things
beyond my understanding
the pain of love
I didn't wanna feel
but through the walls
I could hear you crying
and I can't sleep

and now, he holds me in his arms
and says our love will last
forever, I'll never be alone
but still the little girl inside
is here within my life
and I'm afraid of letting go

nursery rhymes
sung to me a bathtime
will always be
a favourite memory
of long ago
before the dream was over
and the love had gone

finally, relieved that it was ending
I told myself
I didn't really care
I made a god
for something to believe in
but no one's there

and now, he holds me in his arms
and says our love will last
forever, I'll never be alone
but still the little girl inside
is here within my life
and I'm afraid of letting go

but still the little girl inside
is here within my life
and I'm afraid of letting go
