Never Let Me Go

I didn't mean to get this used to you. To having someone I can tell the truth. No second-guessing every word I say. No little game of keeping you away. I used to like my life a certain way. A little distance made it easier to stay. Now when you leave, I notice what is gone, And I don't like how quiet it becomes. I could still pretend I'm fine. I could keep some space between us, But every time I start to pull away, I find another reason to stay. Never let me go. Not because I'm afraid to fall. I just like who I am When I'm with you after all. Mm, never let me go. I don't need a promise for tomorrow, Just don't make this something We remember when it's over. You know the parts I don't explain too soon. The changing moods, the way I disappear, And somehow you don't ask me to be different. You give me space and still, still stay near. I don't need you to read my mind Or find the perfect words to say. It's how you leave the door wide open And never make me feel I have to stay. I could make another Excuse. I could tell myself it's nothing, But I've spent enough time walking away from things I wanted to keep. Never let me go. Not because I'm afraid to fall. I just like who I am When I'm with you after all. Mm, never let me go. I don't need a promise for tomorrow, Just don't make this something We remember when it's over. Never let me go. Stay a little closer. Never let me go. That's all I need. I spent so long protecting Myself, I forgot what it felt like to stay. For once, I can let something happen without being The first to walk away. Never let me go. Not because I'm afraid to fall. I just like who I am When I'm with you after all. Mm, Never let me go. I don't need a promise for tomorrow, Just don't make this something We remember when it's over.
