Don't Let Go

The end came fast, he made it clear. This was her last chance, down fell her tears. His words like a gun, so much damage done, He said too much too soon. She was talking to a friend, nothing more. He answered with a suitcase and a slamming door. Now he’s on the street alone, sleeping by the light of the moon. Stop right there, don’t pretend. Don’t you care how this ends? You’re on the edge. You’re putting it on the line. Don’t walk out, don’t get caught on the trip-wire of a jealous heart; sometimes it takes time to see eye to eye. But don’t, don’t let go before you try.
Is it worth those lonely nights, keeping score to make sure you’re right? It won’t matter who’s right or wrong when you look back and no one’s home? Out in the city he feels undone, his sad eyes fixed on a silent phone, maybe send a text, extend a hand, build a bridge or take one last stand.
Is it cold tonight in freedom, and has anybody called? You know you’ll never re-place her, she’s the one. She was always there to break your fall? Don’t walk out, don’t get caught, on the trip-wire of a jealous heart; sometimes it takes time to see eye to eye. Stop right there, don’t pretend. Don’t you care how this ends? You’re on the edge. You’re putting it on the line. Don’t walk out, don’t get caught, on the trip-wire of a jealous heart; sometimes it takes time to see what’s right. But don’t let go before you try… Just don’t let go before you try…
