lyrics

Try To Hold On To You (Goodbye

Light as a feather
Stiff as a board
Imagination is a double edged sword

Playin games
I've been a joker
Did it all to feel a little bit closer

Oh,  I found the heart to say goodbye
Look you in the eye
 I know I’ve been cryin’ too long
Reachin out a hand
 Didn’t wanna understand
The reasons I’ve tried to hold on to you
Try to hold on to you
Try to hold on to you

Took a chance
Heavy shoulders
Didn’t say enough
Oh I shoulda been bolder

Lookin round
I found your letter
All you wanted was for me to feel better 

Oh,  I found the heart to say goodbye
Look you in the eye
 I know I’ve been cryin’ too long
Reachin' out a hand
 Didn’t wanna understand
The reasons I’ve tried to hold on to you
Try to hold on to you

I won’t give in to me
I won’t give in to me
I won’t give in to me
I won’t give in to me

Oh,  I found the heart to say goodbye
Look you in the eye
 I know I’ve been cryin’ too long
Reachin out a hand
 Didn’t wanna understand
The reasons I’ve tried to hold on to you
I try to hold on to you
I'm tryin
