Lyrics

Verse 1]
Oh, that illness waits, it knows how to steal
The man I have loved and had hoped to heal
Every second matters, I can't bear to know
I want to hold you close, though I know you will go

[Chorus]
I don't want to let you go, don't want to see you fade
I know the end is coming, yet my heart is afraid
But I don't want you suffering, so we must accept
What you have will not improve, we cannot intercept

[Verse 2]
Oh, the battle you're facing is a heavy toll
I feel the sadness very deep in my soul
Maybe I'm selfish for wanting you to stay
But this heart keeps fighting, come what may

[Chorus]
I don't want to let you go, don't want to see you fade
I know the end is coming, yet my heart is afraid
But I don't want you suffering, so we must accept
What you have will not improve, we cannot intercept

[Outro]
I don't want to let you go, don't want to say goodbye
As the stars start to gather in the velvet sky
We're joined at the hip, our souls intertwined
I can't fathom life when you leave me behind.

I don't want to let you go, don't want to see you fade
I know the end is coming, yet my heart is afraid
