lyrics

Every time we say goodbye, this feeling comes over me
I can't seem to find the words, there's no point to try
You gave me peace, and you gave me hope
Well you gave me something to hold on to
Now I, I won't let go… no

So don't you feel, and don't you know
Don't you want to feel alive
'Cause every day, and every face
Well everyone just seems the same
But don't let go, no don't let go
Go and make a name for yourself

Well yesterday seems so far away
Does it feel like that to you
And all the times you've walked away
Well they mean nothing now
Just fix your eyes, just fix your eyes on what's ahead
Just fix your eyes, fix your eyes on what's ahead

So don't you feel, and don't you know
Don't you want to feel alive
'Cause every day, and every face
Well everyone just seems the same
But don't let go, no don't let go
Go and make a name for yourself
(x2)
