Dont Ever Let Me Do That by Excorde from Chicago And Buenos Aires

(Don't Ever) Let Me Do That

I am deeply entrenched in this hectic life
I can’t change what I am to you
I know it feels like I’m stabbing you with a knife
I’ve so little to offer you

You have the right
to confront me and demand more
And I’ll face up
to my spineless reactions
For I know it serves me right

I just know I can't let you go right now
but I won’t stand in your way, never ever
Cause I can't hold you back from your life as lost as I am
Don’t ever let me do that to you

If your time to move on has come, then go
Just do what you have to do
I can’t lie and put on a joyful show
but I’ll always be here for you

That's all I know,
Worthless as it may be
I love you so
But love is not all you need
If so, please know that I’m still here

I just know I can't let you go right now
but I won’t stand in your way never ever,
Cause I can't hold you back from your life, as lost I am.
Don’t ever let me do that to you

I want to empower you,
It is a drive in me that transcends all else
There is a bond between us I cannot explain
I can't say goodbye, I'm not walking away,
Not now, not yet, not today

I just know I can't let you go right now
but I won’t stand in your way never ever,
Cause I can't hold you back from your life, as lost I am.
Don’t ever let me do that to you
