lyrics

My new situation is the latest distraction
A feeble attempt to forget about you
I know it ain't right but I can't just do nothing
I tried that before and all it made me was blue
Singin' hey, oh, why can't I let go?
I'll be hangin' on 'til long after you're gone

It's been two long months since I've heard from you, darlin'
But I tell folks you're fine whenever they ask
I won't admit to myself that it's over
And I'm still not prepared to put you in the past
Singin' hey, oh, why can't I let go?
I'll be hangin' on 'til long after you're gone

I wish our road wasn't as rough
I wish we'd've had more luck
And I wish I'd had the courage to take
A risk and make
Our dreams a reality
And I wish
Like I've wished
Like I'll always wish
That you were here

So I'll send out this song and I'll pray that it finds you
Wherever it is that you are now, my dear
And if we shall not meet again in this lifetime
I'll always hold close to the love you left here
Singin' hey, oh, I'll never let go
I'll be hangin' on 'til long after you're gone
Singin' hey, oh, I'll never let go
I know that you're gone but I hope that at least a part of you is hangin' on
