When I talk to her, 
I know she doesn't hear me 
She seems to be a million miles away 
When the lights start to dim 
She'll be thinking of him 
She loves him so 
She can't let go 
It's been long enough for her to just forget him 
But still she sees his face in ev'ry crowd 
She walks out of the room 
When they're playing that tune 
That's how 
I know She can't let go 
She can't let go, though she knows it's really over 
She can't let go, though she knows he's really gone 
And I can't compete with a rose colored memory 
A memory that lingers on and on 
I've tried ev'rything, but know there's only waiting 
For the last dying embers to fade 
Oh, she wants to be free 
But when she's holding me 
That's when 
I know She can't let go 
I love her so 
But she can't let go
