hangin' on.....lettin' go....

i hung on tight to him last nite.
i knew i missed him....
but it was more than that.
and he let me just hang on.
yeah, i eventually let go and just
stayed near him.
but in my heart i was hangin' on tight.

for lotsa reasons.
it's been a harder week than i really knew.
and i needed him more than i really knew.

and i've been thinking a lot of what makes
people crumble.

i can take this rough week.
it's not enough to make me crumble.
i may cry, and float outside myself, yeah...
but it's not crumbling stuff.

but i know darn well the things that would crumble
me to bits. been aware of them all week.
been grateful i've got what i've got....
and aware that no matter how much i hang on...
i can't keep anything.

so i hung on tight last nite wishing that could
be enough.
if you just could hang on tight enough that you could
just keep everything the way it is.

and then i sit back and let go again.

over and over again i try to learn to let go.
