Lyrics
Let go of my hand - I can stand without you.
You had everything planned.
We talked about it ever so slow,
Hold me and with all the love you could know.
You promised me you'd never go.
Don't you leave without me.
'cos I don't want to spend my life finding out what yours is like in letters.
I'm all wrecked inside with all hope dry and shallow.
Yeah, but didn't we do the right thing?
Isn't this such a high price?
If you're broken up the breaks don't show.
So look me in the eyes and make it up as you go.
But there's no hope if you don't already know.
So please don't leave, don't you leave without me.
'cos I don't want to spend my life finding out what yours is like in letters.
And the chances are that we, will both find somebody, who's no better.
And I don't want to spend my life finding out what yours is like in letters, in letters, in letters.
In Letters. In Letters. La La La Ooh La La La. Yeah.
