Everybody needs a little time away

I heard her say, from each other

Even lovers need a holiday

Far away from each other



Hold me now

It's hard for me to say I'm sorry

I just want you to stay



And after all that you've been through

I will make it up to you, I promise you

And after all that's been said and done

You're just a part of me I can't let go



Couldn't stand to kept away

Not for a day, from your body

(baby, I can't live without you, not even a day)

Wouldn't wanna be swept away

Far away from the one that I love



Hold me now

It's hard for me to say, I'm sorry

I just want you to know (you to know)

Hold me now

I really wanna tell you I'm sorry

I could never let you go



And after all that we've been through

I will make it up to you, I promise you

And after all that's been said and done

You're just a part of me I can't let go

(I can't let go)
