I don't want to let go

Why can’t I just let you go
forget the pain you once caused me,
why won’t I forget
now that we’re not meant to be

why can’t I ignore you or just
not notice when you walk by
why do I wake up at night
and do nothing else but cry

but now I know why
why I can’t let you go
and why I can’t forget
I just don’t want to know

I don’t want to wake up one day
And not even know your name
I don’t want to see you around
And just not feel the same

I don’t want to forget
Cause you made me feel right
I don’t want to let go
Cause then I’d’ve lost this fight

I don’t want to forget
What it felt like to be loved by you
Don’t want to forget
That It was once mutual

I don’t want to forget the butterflies
That you always gave me
I don’t want to hear your name
And not remember clearly

I don’t want to forget
all the secrets we once shared
and I don’t want to forget
that you once really cared

I couldn’t stand it
If one day you forget me
So I won’t forget you
Now that you are free

I’ll always want to remember
The sweet things you used to say
You’ll always be in my heart
Starting from today

I know why I won’t let go
Why I won’t forget you
It’s really simple actually
I just don’t want too.
