I don't want to let go,
I'm not sure that I can.
I don't want to let go,
I'm not that kind of man.
I don't want to let go,
I wish there was time.
I don't want to let go,
I wish you were mine.

Lost in the space of uncharted love,
Lost in the stars that float up above.
Lost in your eyes with no aim or direction,
Lost in your smile I've shown no discretion.

I have never let go of the way that I felt,
But that time has come the cards have been dealt.
I feel so alone but you're not to blame,
I never hated the players I hated the game.
I hid who I was, who I am and would've been,
Hoping my love for you would be seen.

The pain is old and may have dulled,
But the void you left remains unfulfilled.
I want it gone but I don't want to let go,
There is still so much more I wanted to know.
Like why's it so hard and how long will it last,
The time we had just seemed to go by so fast.

It's not like I need you but I want you so bad,
Even just two more minutes which is really quite sad.
I don't know what you did or why to you I am still bound,
And the answer I need remains to be found.
My war rages untamed the front lines push on,
The advantage I thought I had is now gone.
The fronts are divided the head and the heart,
And the love that I felt is tearing me apart.

Lost in your smile I've shown no discretion,
Lost in your eyes with no aim or direction.
Lost in the stars that float up above,
Lost in the space of uncharted love.

I don't want to let go,
I wish you were mine.
I don't want to let go,
I wish there was time.
I don't want to let go,
I'm not that kind of man.
I don't want to let go,
I'm not sure that I can.
