## Lyrics

[Verse 1: Danielle]

Get me out, give me in

I gave you everything I could give

You tried to take, you tried to make it

But take all everything you can't break

If you go so easily

Go on, get out, when you leave

I will wait, I will want

Wait till the day you're back again

Let me out, let me in

I've given up, not given in

'Cause together we are not one, we are nothing

We're holding on and on

Together now, forever then

Go ahead, don't you let me in

But I will wait, I will want

Wait till the day you're back again

[Chorus: Danielle, *Este*, **All**]

Let me go

You know I'm not the one for leaving

Let me go

You know I'm nothing without your love, no

I know I'm nothing without your love

So let me go (*Let me go*)

**You know I'm not the one for leaving**

Let me go

You know I'm nothing without your love, no

I know I'm nothing without your love

So please, God, let me go

[Verse 2: Este]

Let me out, let me in

I gave you everything I could give

You tried to take, you tried to make it

You take all everything you can't make

If you go so easily

Go on, get out, when you leave

I will wait, I will want

Wait till the day you're back again

Let it out, let it in

I'm giving up, not giving in

'Cause together we are not one, we are nothing

Holding on and on

Together now, forever then

Go ahead, don't you let me in

I will wait, I will want

Wait till the day you're back again

[Chorus: Este, *Danielle*, **Este & Alana**]

Let me go

You know I'm not one for leaving

Let me go

You know I'm nothing without your love, no

You know I'm nothing without your love, no

'Cause you know that I'm not one for leaving (*Not one for leaving*)

I'm not one for leaving (*I'm not one for leaving*)

But I'll go on believing (*I'll go on believing*)

Hey, I'll go on believing (*I'll go on believing*)

That I'm not one for leaving (*I'm not one for leaving*)

No, I'm not one for leaving (*I'm not one for leaving*)

No, I'm not one for leaving (*I'm not one for leaving*)

No, I'm not one for leaving (*I'm not one for leaving*)

So let me go (*Let me go*)

**You know I'm not one for leaving**

Let me go (*Let me go*)

**You know I'm not one for leaving**

Let me go (*Let me go*)

*You know I'm not one for leaving*

Let me go (*Let me go*)

Let me go (*Let me go*)

Let me go

[Instrumental Break]

(Not... one for leaving...)

[Outro: Este & Alana, *Este*, **Danielle**]

You know I'm not one for leaving

*Let me go* (**Let me go**)

You know I'm not one for leaving

*Let me go* (**Let me go**)

You know I'm not one for leaving

*Let me go* (**Let me go**)

You know I'm not one for leaving (**Let me go**)
