been here so many times before
something always keeps us
coming back for more
but i just can't let you go, no
i just can't let you go
keep running through the same ol’ rhymes
like a broken tape jammed on rewind
still i just can't let you go (no no)
i just can't let you go
cause i’d been thinking lately, possibly just maybe
this shimmer between us could be something perfect
two broken pieces rising off the floor mm just right
like water to the shore
yeah you broke in like light through the longest tunnel i knew
mirage or the real thing don't matter when your heartstrings are tied
funny thing, — i was good with me ‘fore you came along, jumped right in
made it hard to see a life without you
again
been here so many times before
something always keeps us
coming back for more
but i just can't let you go, no
i just can't let you go
keep running through the same ol’ rhymes
like a broken tape jammed on rewind
still i just can't let you go (no no)
i just can't let you go, but
nowadays you take, all the things that i say
keep misunderstanding, counting up the damage
seems like every move you're itchin' for a fight when i,
i just wanna love you right
and every time it's harder; distance, it gets farther
straining out to touch ya, you give me cold shoulder
make me question what i am and what i'm worth
then turn around
tell me, “love's not supposed to hurt”
i know you'll be coming round
and i know you'll only bring me down
even so, same old story
i know, i can’t let you, let you
i know you'll be coming round
and i know you'll only bring me down
even so, same old story
i know, i can’t let you, let you go
been here so many times before
something always keeps us
coming back for more
but i just can't let you go, no
i just can't let you
go
