You ask to let go

You ask me to let go, but I can't.
I understand, but I hold on tighter.
You ask me to let go, but I can't.
I'm seizing the moment of this eternal connection.
You ask, you beg, let me go,
I understand, I hear, but it's difficult.
To walk with you the path we've walked,
You ask me to let go, but it's so late.
You ask me to let go, you're cutting to the quick,
You ask me to let go, but I'm holding on.
You ask me to let go, but the words choke my throat,
You ask me to let go, but I'm silent again.
You ask me to let go, but I'm lowering my wings,
You ask me to let go, and I'm losing you.
You simply ask me to let go,
But I don't know how to let you go. If I let go, I won't fly anymore,
But you beg, you beg, you beg, let go.
I lower my wings, I won't fly anymore,
I just hear a hum, I hear, let go.
Why fly, I don't know,
Am I letting go of you?
I just hear, I hear,
I hear, let go...
