well you're the closest thing, I have
to bring up in a conversation
about love that didn't last
but I could never call you mine
cause I could never call myself yours
and if we were really meant to be
well then we've just defied destiny
it's not that our love died, it just never really bloomed
and then we saw our paths diverge
and I guess I felt okay about it
until you got with another man
and then I couldn't understand
why it bothered me so
no we didn't die, we just never had a chance to grow
I can't let go, no I can't let go of you
you're holding me back without even trying to
I can't let go, I can't move on from the past
without lifting a finger you're holding me back
and it might not make much sense
to you or any of my friends
but somehow still you affect the things I do
and you can't lose what you never had
I don't understand why I feel sad
every time I see you out with someone new
I can't let go, no I can't let go
no I can't let go of you
I can't let go, no I can't let go of you
you're holding me back without even trying to
I can't let go, I can't move on from the past
without lifting a finger you're holding me back
