i can't let go lyrics

You said you'd light a candle and you'd say a prayer for me
Well I feel the light has dimmed and gone
And half the world is begging while the other half steals
Oh where did everything go wrong?

Well some days I can't believe
Others I'm on my knees
Trying to be heard

I was your anger and you were my fear
and now that it's over, of course it's so clear
But you were no angel and I was no sin
But somehow I can't let it go, can't let it go

Half the world is sleeping while the other half dreams
You close your eyes and then you're gone
And maybe my intentions have been misunderstood
I know you feel so beautifully wronged

Some days I can't believe
Others I'm on my knees
Hoping I belong

I was your anger and you were my fear
And now that it's over, of course it's so clear
But you were no angel and I was no sin
But somehow I can't let it go, can't let it go

And laughter is my soul's release
But we're not smiling anymore
And can't we try to win this peace?
'Cause we're never gonna win, never gonna win this war

I was your anger and you were my fear
And now that it's over, of course it's so clear
But you were no angel and I was no sin
But somehow I can't let it go, can't let it go
