I can´t set you free, no
And the wheels just turn and turn, you see
Till they grind me to stone
All the promises you can never keep just keep me awake

´Cause I can´t be the way you wanted
And I know that your hands don´t wanna hold me more
And your eyes don´t wanna see, no

It´s like the needle from, the needle from the spoon
I just need it from you, need it from you

Can´t let you leave, no
Won´t let you leave, da-darling
You took it all
And just in case, you took a little more, no lie
Can´t let you go
Can´t let you go, no no, no
Can´t breathe, can´t sleep, can´t eat
Can´t live without you here
Baby, I can´t let you leave

(Can´t breathe, can´t sleep, can´t eat
Can´t live without you here)

Don´t take my dignity, child
´Cause it´s taking all my strength to keep
God willing this time
I gotta rein you in
´Cause you don´t understand
How you´re hurting me bad
And you don´t know the fire you started
And you don´t see the heat that´s rising higher
I´m tired of trying, I´m out of my mind, oh

It´s like the needle from, the needle from the spoon
I just need it from you, need it from you

Can´t let you leave, no
Won´t let you leave, da-darling
You took it all
And just in case, you took a little more, no lie
Can´t let you go
Can´t let you go, no no, no
Can´t breathe, can´t sleep, can´t eat
Can´t live without you here
Baby, I can´t let you leave

(Can´t breathe, can´t sleep, can´t eat
Can´t live without you here)

Baby, I can´t let you leave

(Nothing I won´t give to hold you here
I would never harm you
Don´t ever let me go)

Can´t let you leave, no
Won´t let you leave, da-darling
You took it all
And just in case, you took a little more, no lie
Can´t let you go
Can´t let you go, no no, no
Can´t breathe, can´t sleep, can´t eat
Can´t live without you here
Baby, I can´t let you leave
