Lyrics

**Verse 1**
I know your mind is almost made up
I can see it in the way you stand
Your coat is folded on your arm now
And your suitcase is beside your hand

You said you’re tired of my excuses
Tired of waiting for me to change
I know sorry sounds like nothing
When I’ve said it every other day

But before you turn that handle
Before goodbye becomes our truth
There’s one thing I’m asking, baby
Before this room stops holding you

**Chorus**
Just let me hold you one more time
Let me feel your heart against mine
Don’t say nothing, don’t explain
Let me remember you without the pain

Just let me hold you one more time
Before your love is no longer mine
I know I gave you reasons to go
But, baby, don’t leave before I hold you close

**Verse 2**
I should’ve listened when you told me
You were lonely lying next to me
I was busy chasing every dollar
While you were losing faith in what we’d be

You never asked me for the whole world
Just a little time and honesty
But I kept bringing home my body
While my mind was somewhere in the street

Now every word you tried to tell me
Is coming back too late and loud
And the man who thought he had forever
Is standing here without it now

**Chorus**
Just let me hold you one more time
Let me feel your heart against mine
Don’t turn away, don’t close the door
Let me love you like I should’ve before

Just let me hold you one more time
Before your love is no longer mine
I know these arms have let you down
But they still know how to hold you now

**Bridge**
I won’t promise you a miracle
I won’t lie and say I’m new
But losing you has made me face
Everything I put you through

I took your patience as permission
To keep giving you less than your worth
Now I’d trade every foolish victory
For one more evening in your world

And if this hug can’t make you stay
I’ll release you when it’s done
But let me hold the woman
Who taught this selfish man how to love someone

**Final Chorus**
Just let me hold you one more time
Let your tears fall next to mine
Let me feel the life we made
Before it becomes yesterday

Just let me hold you one more time
I won’t pretend that you’re still mine
When the morning calls you away
I’ll remember how you felt today

I know I gave you reasons to go
And maybe love can’t save us now
But before you leave me forever
Let me hold you somehow

**Outro
