I walked in circles every day Wishin' I could take this pain away In angry rage, I couldn't see I can't let go even though I set you free The roses I bought are on the floor You tried to walk out the door This gun will keep you here with me I can't let go even though I set you free Too late, my love, to turn back Too many, many tears you cried each night My love for you was first degree I can't let go even though I set you free They'll place some roses on your grave The judge won't show me any grace And the Lord, no he won't forgive me I can't let go even though I set you free Too late, my love, to turn back So many, many tears I cried each night My love for you was in the first degree I can't let go even though I set you free I can't let go even though I set you free
