Before You Let Me Go

Declan J. Donovan

Compositor: Declan J Donovan

What if never bought you
Coffee when we missed the last train
Just two strangers talking staying out of the rain

What if never went back to your place
I didn't need convincing to stay
What if never bought you
Coffee when we missed the last train

After all these years we're back again
At the same damn place that we missed that train but this time
You're telling me you've changed your mind

So before you let me go can we burn every photo
Won't you let me hold all the seconds you stole
Should have known it from the start
I didn't mean to fall this far
Before you let me go give back the heart you borrowed

What if we never saw the lights of the northern skies
Have I been living with my hands over my eyes
After all these years we're back again
At the same damn place that we missed that train but this time
You're telling me you've changed your mind

So before you let me go can we burn every photo
Won't you let me hold all the seconds you stole
Should have known it from the start
I didn't mean to fall this far
Before you let me go
Give back my heart

I won't be wasting time looking for silver linings
You could keep your goodbyes just give me
Back what's mine I won't be wasting time
Looking for silver linings
You could keep your goodbyes just give me
Back what's mine

So before you let me go can we burn every photo
Won't you let me hold all the seconds you stole
Should have known it from the start
I didn't mean to fall this far

Before you let me go give back the heart you borrowed
