Not Letting Go

It’ll be two years yesterday
You hit the lights, walked away
You changed the lock, you closed the doors for the last time
Seasons change, it hurts the same
And these old pictures they don’t fade
Of you and I, just getting by
Back when we were on fire
My friends tell me to let you go
‘Cause it’s all just ashes and smoke

I see your face in dreams when I sleep
Waking up cold sweatin' don't make it easy
Time won't rewind don't I know
So I'm holding on to not letting go
I'm holding on to not letting go
I'm holding on to not letting go

Still think about our first dance
Tradin' kisses takin' chances
Mellencamp kids with an F.M. Casio
Jack and Diane let it play
Til those pink houses turn to gray
Now I sit here alone prayin' you'll come home

I see your face in dreams when I sleep
Waking up cold sweatin' don't make it easy
Time won't rewind don't I know
So I'm holding on to not letting go
I'm holding on to not letting go
I'm holding on to not letting go

I catch your perfume still on my pillow
And your name is written in the dust on the window'
Time don't rewind don't I know
So I'm holding on to not letting go

I see your face in dreams when I sleep
Waking up cold sweatin' don't make it easy
Time won't rewind don't I know
So I'm holding on to not letting go
I'm holding on to not letting go
I'm holding on to not letting go
