I Won't Let You Go (Darling)
Hedley · Storms [2011]
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
PRE-CHORUS
And baby don't look back, odds don't stack
They just crumble down around you
Oh, you gotta go away if you wanna come back
I won't crack I can't make a sound without you
CHORUS
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's burning, darling, I won't let you go
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
PRE-CHORUS
So baby don't look back odds don't stack
They just crumble down around you
Oh you gotta go away if you wanna come back
I won't crack I can't make a sound without you
CHORUS
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's burning, darling, I won't let you go
Even if it sounds crazy, darling, I won't let you go
Even if it sounds crazy, darling
PRE-CHORUS
So baby don't look back, odds don't stack
They just crumble down, around you
Oh 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's burning, darling, I won't let you go
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, no I never could
Let you go
