Missing you my dear is so hard
When your malice keeps making its mark
And though I always lose
It's just like bubblegum to shoes

All this grief, never letting go, never letting go
All this grief, never letting go, never letting go

You look so different when you are with him
The light that lit your face has duly dimmed
Though his loving never shows,
Just like cigarette smoke to clothes

Both your hands, never letting go, never letting go
Both your hands, never letting go, never letting go

If I could break away I would
And free my self from off your hooks
Take your hands from off my neck
And give me one last breath
So I can scream, let me go, let me go
So I can scream, let me go, let me go.

Though our history is nothing but a mess
At least I've tried to live my life like I know best
Though we'll struggle and we'll strain
It's like an old red wine stain,

The past, never letting go, never letting go
The past, never letting go, never letting go.
