First of all I apologize for this long period of silence
Being busy is no excuse to pull away and lose touch with my friends
Last time we met on the net
Maybe you didn't like those things that I said
But the day I send you that sad mail
Not one, not two, but three couples of friends just split up

Please don't start your reply with 'sorry, I was busy too' 
It's the busy-ness that brings us to our knees
Who invented all these things we have to do?
'Cause if I don't have you, oh babe
What I'm trying to say is: don't let go
Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go

And as for me, the snow is returned
The cat is scratching at cotton buds on his fur
Mum never calls, Laura's going to Spain
The ethics teacher killed herself last Saturday

What I'm trying to say is: don't let go
Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go
Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go

Please don't start your reply with 'sorry, I was busy too' 
I know you're busy, we are all busy
We've got such important things to do
