I woke up naked and alone So far, so far from my home But I won’t let go Filled up with shame and fear and doubt My dirty heart was all carved out Finally alone
But I won’t let go No, I can’t let go
Packed bag, ticket to Buffalo Somewhere no one really knows How dark I get Bus ride, Greyhound all the way Bounced checks, money I can’t pay Am I there yet?
But I won’t let go No, I can’t let go
Stained walls, leaking from the roof One light bulb makes me see the truth The waves come slow Crash hard, twenty seven years I’ve been down, drowning in my fears Oh no, not now, oh no
But I won’t let go No, I can’t let go
I’ve cheated and I’ve lied But at least I tried At least I tried I hold out a beggars hand But I gave all I am Gave all I am I’ve got no place to hide From the cold, hard light Of the truth that shines Braver, better men than I Have fought and died So we can try, we can try
I’ve crossed rivers deep and wide I look back I’m on the other side Alive and whole
But I won’t let go No, I can’t let go Yeah I won’t let go No, I can’t let go
No, I won’t let go So now you know Yeah, I won’t let go No, I won’t let go
