Afraid Of Letting Go

Every night I gave myself three wishes

'Cos I believed I had a secret god

We made a deal that you would stay together

But he let me down

You told me things beyond my understanding

The pain of love I didn't want to feel

But through the walls I could hear you crying

And I can't sleep

And now he holds me in his arms

And says our love will last

Forever I'll never be alone

But still the little girl inside

Is here within my life

And I'm afraid of letting go

Nursery rhymes sung to me at bathtime

Will always be a favourite memory

Of long ago before the dream was over

And the love had gone

Finally relieved that it was ending

I told myself I didn't really care

I made a god for something to believe in

But no one's there

And now he holds me in his arms

And says our love will last

Forever I'll never be alone

But still the little girl inside

Is here within my life

And I'm afraid of letting go

But still the little girl inside

Is here within my life

And I'm afraid of letting go
