I Won't Let You Go
by: HedleyLong steady road, oh travel be kind.
I'm searching for some peace of mind.
The home that you know,
a home left behind.
Oh trouble don't trouble this time.
And baby don't look back, odds don't stack,
they just crumble down, around you.
You gotta go away if you wanna come back.
I won't crack, I can't make a sound without you.
And even if it sounds crazy darling, I won't let you go.
And even if it don't stop raining darling, I won't let you go.
And even if the world is burning darling, I won't let you go.
And even if it sounds crazy darling, I won't let you go.
Know your way down, your music, your town,
You're never walking alone.
A storm that won't wait, a heart that won't break.
Your mountains ain't made out of stone
And baby don't look back, odds don't stack,
they just crumble down, around you.
You gotta go away if you wanna come back.
I won't crack, I can't make a sound without you.
And even if it sounds crazy darling, I won't let you go.
And even if it don't stop raining darling, I won't let you go.
And even if the world is burning darling, I won't let you go.
And even if it sounds crazy darling, I won't let you go.
So baby don't look back, odds don't stack,
They just crumble down, around you.
You gotta go away if you wanna come back.
I won't crack, I can't make a sound without you.
And even if it sounds crazy darling, I won't let you go.
And even if it don't stop raining darling, I won't let you go.
And even if the world is burning darling, I won't let you go.
And even if it sounds crazy darling, I won't let you go.
No I can't no I never will never ever would,
No I never could let you go,
No I just can't no I never will never ever would,
No I never could let you go.
No I just can't no I never will never ever would,
No I never could let you go.
No I just can't no I never will never ever would,
