Don't let go, don't let go 'Cause this drug can't beat us both Don't let go cause you're fighting for us both When It's too soon to quit, but it's too late to try Just keep me breathing, I promess I won't let go I promess I won't let go It's too soon to quit, but it's too late to try Just keep me breathing Just keep me breathing, I promess I won't let go Don't let go, don't let go 'Cause this drug can't beat us both Don't let go cause you're fighting for us both When It's too soon to quit, but it's too late to try Just keep me breathing, I promess I won't let go I promess I won't let go It's too soon to quit, but it's too late to try Just keep me breathing
