Beverly Craven - Afraid of Letting Go
Every night
I gave myself three wishes
’cos I believed
I had a secret god
We made a deal
That you would stay together
But he let me down
You told me things
Beyond my understanding
The pain of love
I didn’t wanna feel
But through the walls
I could hear you crying
And I can’t sleep
And now, he holds me in his arms
And says our love will last
Forever, I’ll never be alone
But still the little girl inside
Is here within my life
And I’m afraid of letting go
Nursery rhymes
Sung to me a bathtime
Will always be
A favourite memory
Of long ago
Before the dream was over
And the love had gone
Finally, relieved that it was ending
I told myself
I didn’t really care
I made a god
For something to believe in
But no one’s there
And now, he holds me in his arms
And says our love will last
Forever, I’ll never be alone
But still the little girl inside
Is here within my life
And I’m afraid of letting go
But still the little girl inside
Is here within my life
And I’m afraid of letting go
