you broke the rules
you crossed the line
but there was nobody to warn you off this time
i loved you for it
how could I not
you wanted my all, and that’s what you got
but now you want to let go

you took the blame
you shouldered the cost
but what you thought you’d gained you’d really lost
if you weren’t you
and i weren’t me
do think that still together we’d be
would we have let go

tree of dreams aflame
stars falling from the sky
the bend need not break
it’s the beauty of compromise
help me comprehend
in you i will confide
what i can’t defend
no secrets left to hide

please don’t let go

if we defy the odds
throw away the past
maybe we could forever last
what’s done is done
we can’t go back
but you and i could make a pact
to not let go
