I Can't Let You Go In This Life

You're something I need

And I'm not just sayin

In the crooks of your body

I found my religion

Need you like my teeth

When I bite an apple

You could tell me to leave

Onto you I'll grapple

I've tried I've tried I've tried

I can't let you go in this life

Or the next

Lover come close

Closer than kin

Love all my bones

Reside in my skin

There's something sweet

About the taste of your skin

Something I need

Couldn't live without it

I've only thought about it

I've tried I've tried I've tried

But I can't let you go in this life

I've tried I've tried I've tried

But I can't let you go in this life

Or the next

I've tried I've tried I've tried

I've tried I've tried I've tried
