Love
from 9/9/'02

holding on to all I’ve got
and that’s you
you’re all I’ve got to hold on to
but love is letting go

you are all I’ve got
but maybe that’s just tonight
you are all I’ve got
but it seems that after tonight
I could wake
to your absence
and that would kill me
in my present state

love is letting go
even when I can’t know
if you’ll ever look my way again
love is letting go
even when the going’s slow
and the tough are sleepy at the wheel

holding on to all I’ve got
loving you far past tonight
if only in pictures I cling to
it feels surreal
you always do

oh the webs we weave
they tie us down
then they make us leave
some of us get stuck
and the others leave drunk
but we all leave

holding on to all I’ve got
and all I’ve got is you
I’m scared to wake from this dream
alone in an empty room
where all I’ve got are pictures of you

but love is letting go.
