Afraid of letting go

Every night I gave myself three wishes
'Cos I believed I had a secret god
We made a deal that you would stay together
But he let me down
You told me things beyond my understanding
The pain of love I didn't want to feel
But through the walls I could hear you crying
And I can't sleep

And now he holds me in his arms
And says our love will last
Forever I'll never be alone
But still the little girl inside
Is here within my life
And I'm afraid of letting go

Nursery rhymes sung to me at bathtime
Will always be a favourite memory
Of long ago before the dream was over
And the love had gone
Finally relieved that it was ending
I told myself I didn't really care
I made a god for something to believe in
But no one's there

And now he holds me in his arms
And says our love will last
Forever I'll never be alone
But still the little girl inside
Is here within my life
And I'm afraid of letting go

But still the little girl inside
Is here within my life
And I'm afraid of letting go
