No Turning Back

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Mm

Chorus

I won’t let them go

No no no

I won’t let them go

If they leave

They won’t look back

And I’ll be all alone

I’m their mother

Don’t they know

My heart will break

It breaks so slow

I won’t let them go

No no

Verse 1

I carried them inside

Felt their heartbeat near my heart

Now the world pulls at the seams

Tries to tear us all apart

Stealing away the time I own

I fear the day I’m left alone

Verse 2

I won’t let them find a bride

They cannot walk away

I know the risk of a wandering mind

Turning gold to leaden grey

I need to keep them in this room

Safely kept inside the gloom

Chorus

I won’t let them go

No no no

I won’t let them go

If they leave

They won’t look back

And I’ll be all alone

I’m their mother

Don’t they know

My heart will break

It breaks so slow

I won’t let them go

No no

Bridge

Is a mother easy to forget

Is her love so small

Is she nothing after all

I cannot take the chance

I cannot live the pain

I can’t let the cycle start again

Again

Again

Verse 3

I’ve seen sons turn their backs

Closed doors and quiet halls

Mothers crying for a call

But the silence always falls

They forget the nights I stayed awake

They forget the moves I had to make

Verse 4

I am terrified of losing

The home I built with pride

The memories I saved

Now have nowhere left to hide

Maybe I am wrong to hold so tight

But the fear returns at night

Chorus

I won’t let them go

No no no

I won’t let them go

If they leave

They won’t look back

And I’ll be all alone

I’m their mother

Don’t they know

My heart will break

It breaks so slow

I won’t let them go

No no
