you're holding me back without even trying to
well, you're the closest thing i have
to bring up in a conversation about love that didn't last
but i could never call you mine
'cause i could never call myself yours
and if we were really meant to be
well then we just defied destiny
it's not that our love died
it just never really bloomed
now i can't let go, no i can't let go of you
you're holding me back without even trying to
i can't let go, i can't move on from the past
without lifting a finger you're holding me back
and then we saw our paths diverge
and i guess i felt okay about it
until you got with another girl
and i couldn't understand why it bothered me so
no we didn't die
we just never had a chance to grow
and it might not make much sense to you or any of my friends
but somehow still you affect the things i do
and you can't lose what you never had
i don't understand why i feel sad everytime i see you out with someone new
and i can't let go of you
