[Chorus] I can’t hold on And I can’t return Rivers will run And bridges will burn I can’t say just how But there’s no lookin’ back now [Bridge] (When everything fades away) (And there’s nothing left) Then you got to keep rememberin’ [Chorus] I can’t slow down And I can’t return It’s time to let go Start to live and learn   [Solo] | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |    | [Post verse] So why don’t I understand now?
