Never Let Me Go

If I fall, don’t pick me up

Let me lie there for a while

Even if i cry out in pain

Let me lie there for a while

Even if I try and can’t move

Don’t pick me up

Be there if you wish to watch over me

But don’t pick me up

I’ll writhe in agony for a while

I’ll close my eyes and open them again

But I won’t stop trying

Even if I try and can’t move

Don’t pick me up

If I fall and you hold my hand

I’ll get up on my feet

I’ll smile and look at you

I’ll hug you with warmth

If I fall and you hold my hand

I won’t let go

I’ll walk ahead with aplomb

But I’ll still hold your hand tightly

I won’t let you go

If you fall, I’ll fall with you

We’ll muster strength to get up together

But I won’t let go

If you want to run

I’ll run with you

The day you decide you’ve had enough

To let go will be tough

If you want to let me go

Then let me fall

Don’t pick me up

Let me lie there for a while

Even if I try and can’t move

Don’t pick me up

Be there if you wish to watch over me

But don’t pick me up

I’ll writhe with aching memories for a while

But I won’t stop trying

If I fall and you pick me up

Never let me go.
