I Can't Let Go

While there will never be another Whitney Houston, Jennifer Hudson has proven to be the closest heir apparent among the current crop of female divas. She has a voice that just won’t quit and an emotional fervor that she brings to each song without ever appearing overwrought.

Once I listen to this song, it really hit me just there and there. The song is pure beauty. I have updated this song on my playlist to share it with you guys too. This version is done live! Without any mixing or autotune to beautify it. Not comparing this track with any in particular but I have to say, Jennifer really went all out to touch souls. It brings tears to me when I listen to this. The lyrics is beautiful. This track will premier on Episode 4 of Smash Season 2. 

This song is really direct. I guess you guys will understand what I am trying to say after you guys listen to it. 

Anyhow, I shall stop talking and let you guys enjoy this amazing piece of art. 

They say nothing last forever

Well, I wish they found the truth

Cause this aching in my heart won't go away

They say yeah things changed

They say time will see you through

Well I've listened, And I've waited for that day

But I wake up with this anger and

the pain won't let me be

And the smile I share was only there for show

If I hang on to this heartache then my soul will not be free

So I keep trying

but I just cannot let go

I can't let go

I need it to remind me

I can't let go

Or I'll just repeat the past

And for your arms I'm saying yes

I feel my heart keep saying no

I wanna love you but I can't let go

I believe in happy days

but I've seen unhappy days

So I close the book before the story starts

I just due witness to my lifetime

And I'm a stranger to my friends

I'm a traffic of a broken damage heart

Now you want me to start over

It is easier said than done

And the memories are strong when they were wrong

And when oh there comes a calling

I don't even need to try to run

Cause something makes me know I'm alive

I can't let go

I need it to remind me

I can't let go

Or I'll just repeat the past

And for your arms I'm saying yes

I feel my heart keep saying no

I wanna love you but I can't let go

No, I can't let go

Won't you help me, help me to let go.
