This song is about letting go of people and things that need to move on, no matter how much you want them to stay. It is dedicated to Vaughn Wareham Edwards.

Don’t you hang on too long for me
Don’t you hang on if it hurts too much
If you can’t handle the pain
If you feel like you’re too drained
Don’t hang on too long for me

If it hurts too much, then

Don’t you make yourself cry for me
Don’t you let it hurt you any more
If you need to move on
Cuz you’ve been hurting too long
Don’t you make yourself cry for me

If it hurts too much then

Let go please
Don’t stay if you can’t handle it
It’s ok to leave
If you know you’re out of time
There’s so much you’ve done
For everyone
And often not yourself so
If it hurts too much, let go please

You know I’d hate to see you leave
I think that my heart might even break
But I can’t stand to see
You hurting so deep
So even though I’d hate to see you leave

If it hurts too much then

Don’t you hang on too long for me
Don’t you hang on if it hurts too much
If you can’t handle the pain
If you feel like you’re too drained
Don’t hang on too long for me

If It hurts too much then

Let go please
Don’t stay if you can’t handle it
It’s ok to leave
If you know you’re out of time
There’s so much you’ve done
For everyone
And often not yourself so
If it hurts too much, let go please
