I Cannot Let You Go Lyrics - Heartbeat Radio - Sondre Lerche

With sleight of hand and force of will 

Closets full of odd-sized shoes to fill 

I better be a gifted kid 

To undo some of the deeds you did 

In 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 

You're gonna be alone, gonna be alone, it's gonna be late 

Forgive you anything 

I try to shake it but it just won't do 

And it's all coming back to me now 

So we'll pretend or make up something new 

You can push me away but I cannot let you go (let you go) 

I cannot let you go (let you go) 

I cannot let you go 

The rubber band is wearing thin 

Bursting as reality kicks in 

All hope should be at long last lost 

But you'll defy all sense at any cost 

In 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 

You're gonna be alone, gonna be alone, it's gona be late 

Forgive you anything 

I try to shake it but it just won't do 

And it's all coming back to me now 

So let's pretend or make up something new 

But there's no getting back to the start 

I try to shake it but it just won't do 

You can push me away but I cannot let you go (let you go) 

I cannot let you go (let you go) 

I cannot let you go, I cannot let you go 

In 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 

You're gonna be alone, gonna be alone, it's gonna be late 

Forgive you anything 

I try to shake it but it just won't do 

And it's all coming back to me now 

So let's pretend or make up something new 

But there's no getting back to the start 

I'll be a father, you can be the son 

Till I can't even tell us apart 

I tried to shake it but the deal is done 

You can push me away but I cannot let you go (let you go) 

I cannot let you go (let you go) 

Try as I may I know I cannot let you go (let you go) 

I cannot let you go 

I cannot let you go 

I cannot let you go 

I cannot let you go 

I cannot let you go
