## Lyrics

* Final
* Demo

**[Verse 1]**

I'd heard "Goodbye, goodbye"

Over and over, I went hollow

I lost my mind, my mind

Life was a bitter pill to swallow

And though I wanted affection, I was tired of rejection

I kicked the habit

Yes, I put love on the shelf and agreed with myself

I'd never have it

**[Pre-Chorus 1]**

It's like you knew

And you came out

Out of nowhere and into my life

It took you a while

But you found me

Now I'm sure that I'm gonna survive

**[Chorus]**

And it started with a hello

Take the lead, and I will follow

I could love you for the rest of my life

Don't you ever let me go-o-o

And it started with a hello

I could be your superhero

I could love you for the rest of my life

Don't you ever let me go-o-o

**[Verse 2]**

I was behind, behind, now I wish I had fasted forwards

All of this time, this time, you have been right around the corner

Next time the doctor tells me I have to swallow a pill to put it in perspective

I'll tell her everything's coming up roses, shockingly better than I expected

**[Pre-Chorus 2]**

Cause I was a fool for believing

There was no one who could change my life

Cause now you've arrived

You revived me

Now I'm sure that I'm gonna be fine

**[Chorus]**

And it started with a hello

Take the lead, and I will follow

I could love you for the rest of my life

Don't you ever let me go-o-o

And it started with a hello

I could be your superhero

I could love you for the rest of my life

Don't you ever let me go-o-o

**[Post-Chorus]**

Go-o-o

(Don't you ever let me go-o-o)

**[Bridge]**

It's finally real

I found my fantasy

Remember the day

When I heard you say

**[Chorus]**

Hello!

Take the lead and I will follow

I could love you for the rest of my life

Don't you ever let me go-o-o

And it started with a hello

I could be your superhero

I could love you for the rest of my life

Don't you ever let me go-o-o

**[Post-Chorus]**

Go-o-o

(Don't you ever let me go-o-o)

**[Verse 1]**

I'd heard "Goodbye, goodbye"

Over and over, I went hollow

I lost my mind, my mind

Life was a bitter pill to swallow

And though I wanted affection, I was tired of rejection

I kicked the habit

I tried holding the rails, I fell down and bit my nails

'Til they were jagged

**[Pre-Chorus]**

It's like you knew

And you came out

Out of nowhere and into my life

It took you a while

But you found me

Now I'm sure that I'm gonna survive

**[Chorus]**

And it started with a hello

I could be your superhero

I could love for the rest of my life

Don't you ever let me go-o-o

And it started with a hello

Take the lead and I will follow

I will love you for the rest of my life

Don't you ever let me go-o-o

**[Verse 2]**

I was behind, behind, now I wish I had fasted forwards

All of this time, this time, you have been right around the corner

Next time the doctor tells me

I have to swallow a pill to put it in perspective

I'll tell her everything's coming up roses

Shockingly better than I expected

**[Pre-Chorus]**

'Cause I was a fool for believing

There was no one who could change my life

'Cause now you've arrived

You revived me

Now I'm sure that I'm gonna be fine

**[Chorus]**

And it started with a hello

I could be your superhero

I could love for the rest of my life

Don't you ever let me go-o-o

And it started with a hello

Take the lead and I will follow

I will love you for the rest of my life

Don't you ever let me go-o-o

**[Post-Chorus]**

Go-o-o

(Don't you ever let me go-o-o)
