| She tried to hold me | |
| She tried to hold me | |
| She didn't know | |
| Love is letting go | |
| She said ‘I'm looking for perfection' | |
| As she strode in my direction | |
| She cast her mantle round me, | |
| Said ‘I'm completed since you found me' | |
| She executed her enchantment | |
| Secreted me in her encampment | |
| With diversions and pretences | |
| She dismantled my defences | |
| She tried to hold me | |
| She tried to hold me | |
| She didn't know | |
| Love is letting go | |
| She told me I was unrealistic | |
| And then she went ballistic | |
| In her powder blue pajamas, | |
| Me some flotsam in her drama | |
| She said “love's what I believe in” | |
| But inside she was seething | |
| With a cyclone raging under | |
| Like she was skin surrounding thunder | |
| She tried to hold me | |
| She tried to hold me | |
| She didn't know | |
| Love is letting go | |
| I made it to the stairwell | |
| In the street I muttered farewell | |
| With a driving wind agin me | |
| And shame exploding in me | |
| It took me six years to begin again | |
| To feel secure in my own skin again | |
| For she lingered like uranium | |
| Like a demon in my cranium | |
| She tried to hold me | |
| She tried to hold me | |
| She didn't know | |
| Love is letting go | |
| All this was long ago now | |
| And if I knew then what I know now | |
| I'd have deployed a little patience | |
| I'd have laughed at all her stipulations | |
| But I was young and I fumbled | |
| A boy-fool whose castle crumbled | |
| I couldn't save her | |
| Though I forgave her | |
| She tried to hold me | |
| She tried to hold me | |
| She didn't know | |
| Love is letting go |
