The sands of time have run their course
She dodged them once so she could find her comfort
From all the things she does to hurt her
And when she goes to close her eyes to sleep for the night
She hears opinions, they're not yours or mine
I say just throw this down and break this
Crushing hold they have on your soul

I was told to never let you go
I promise you've the prettiest of eyes
It hurt so bad but you wont let it show
I'll never let you know
It feels like the past and now inside
Common sense will never let you go

She stands out in crowd
She thinks out loud to save her breath
With a portrait of her parents death
And I can show you stars
If this is who you are
You're far more priceless than the price that's spent
A choice like this gets harder just to fight through
So let this go
And we'll break this crushing hold
They have on your soul

I was told to never let you go
I promise you've the prettiest of eyes
It hurt so bad but you don't let it show
I'll never let you know
It feels like the past and now inside
Common sense will never let you go

My advice is to take all they steal right back
Whether we hate or unite
Make the ones who are hurting feel right

I was told to never let you go
I promise you've the prettiest of eyes
It hurts so bad but you won't let it show
I'll never let you know
It feels like the past and now inside
Common sense will never let you go

I was told to never let you go
To never let you go!
