Afraid to complete things
To bring projects to a close
For what it might mean
An end, the end...my end
Don't you understand why?
Why I just can't bring myself to do it?

(Chorus)
I can't let go
I can't turn the page
Won't close the book
For all you mean to me
For all life means to me
Can't do it yet, not yet

(bridge)
But it tears me up inside and out
Takes all I have left and what I didn't realize I had
I need you now more than ever
Won't you...won't you...

Never felt so alone
Helpless as never before
The only life left
Is in those I love
Is in those I've loved
Why do I feel so alone?

(chorus)

Always trusted in life
Never feared death or its coming
Now unsure of everything
Fear surrounds and fills me
Moments of doubt take over
Will I find peace again?

(chorus)

Too much happened
In too little time to adjust
This time, it's not the same
They're all helpless too
It's the end of the line
How could I ever be ready for this?

(chorus)

Afraid to complete things
To bring projects to a close
For what it might mean
An end, the end...my end
Don't you understand why?
Why I just can't bring myself to do it?

Chorus
(bridge to-)
But it tears me up inside and out
Takes all I have left and what I didn't realize I had
I need you now more than ever
Won't you...won't you...
Won't you lend me a hand, a shoulder and perhaps some light again...

{whispered} Then, when it's all done I'll let go and say goodbye...
