i wish you could stay with me
a while longer
come play with me 
the songs we wrote
together we’ve been through so much 
but lately i’ve been losing touch 
i’ve been trying to hold on 
but i know i have to move on

and let you go
let you go

you were the only love 
i had known for so long
how could i ever thank you
for what you have done? 
you were my parent, my friend, my guardian, my everything 
when i had nothing 
now that the war is won
it’s time to move on
from the person i had to become 

i wish i could carry you
in my pocket 
and take you where
i’m about to go
i know you wanna keep me safe
but it’s time to embrace the change 
from now on if i wanna grow 
i‘ll have to go on on my own 

and let you go
let you go 
but i’ll remember, that 

you were the only love 
i had known for so long 
how could i ever thank you
for what you have done? 
you were my parent, my friend, my guardian, my everything 
when i had nothing
all these years you sacrificed your life
in order to save mine 
oh, oh, oh 
oh, oh 

now the war is won
a new chapter has begun
two finally become one
and it’s time to move on
from the person i had to become
