Hold Me While You Go

There's a change in the way you touch me

Like your heart's already gone

You still reach out to hold me

But the feeling's not as strong

I can hear it in the silence

I can see it in your eyes

Love isn't leaving all at once

It's saying its goodbyes

If this is where it ends

Don't turn away tonight

Don't let me lose you

Without one last time

So hold me while your love is fading

Stay just long enough for breaking

Let me feel what we've been saving

Before it slips away

Don't soften what we're losing

Don't pretend it isn't moving

If this is love concluding

Hold me, while you go

We were never loud or reckless

Just a steady kind of flame

Now the warmth we built together

Doesn't burn the same

I would fight for every moment

But I know that look too well

Sometimes love grows quiet

Right before farewell

If your heart has chosen

Somewhere else to be

Let this last touch remember me

Hold me while your love is fading

Stay just long enough for breaking

Let me feel what we've been saving

Before it slips away

Don't rush through the ending

Don't close your heart so gently

If you're leaving

Hold me, like you'll never hold me again

Maybe love was always borrowed time

Maybe yours was never mine

But if tonight is all we have

Let it be enough to last

So hold me while your love is fading

Let the ache be unrestrained

I'd rather feel the hurt

Than watch us disappear

Don't say words to make it easy

Nothing about this is easy

If you're walking out

Hold me, until you're gone

There's a change

In the way you touch me

I'll feel it, long after you're gone
