I Won't Let Go

I woke up naked and alone

So far, so far from my home

But I won't let go

Filled up with shame and fear and doubt

My dirty heart was all carved out

Finally alone

But I won't let go

No, I can't let go

Packed bag, ticket to Buffalo

Somewhere no one really knows

How dark I get

Bus ride, Greyhound all the way

Bounced checks, money I can't pay

Am I there yet?

But I won't let go

No, I can't let go

Stained walls, leaking from the roof

One light bulb makes me see the truth

The waves come slow

Crash hard, twenty seven years

I've been down, drowning in my fears

Oh no, not now, oh no

But I won't let go

No, I can't let go

I've cheated and I've lied

But at least I tried

At least I tried

I hold out a beggars hand

But I gave all I am

Gave all I am

I've got no place to hide

From the cold, hard light

Of the truth that shines

Braver, better men than I

Have fought and died

So we can try, we can try

I've crossed rivers deep and wide

I look back I'm on the other side

Alive and whole

But I won't let go

No, I can't let go

Yeah I won't let go

No, I can't let go

No, I won't let go

So now you know

Yeah, I won't let go

No, I won't let go
