letting go

i have been called a hopeless romantic. i don't know about the "hopeless" part but i agree with the romantic half. one of my favorite songs (have you already figured i have a lot?) is christopher cross's "is there something". i searched for a video in youtube, hoping to be able to share it but i didn't find anything. here are the lyrics to the song instead:

is there something

lately i see clouds of sorrow in your eyes
some deep sadness you can never quite disguise
now i'm scared to ask what it's leading to
but i'm more afraid of not asking you

is there something that you want to tell me
is there something that i ought to know
are we something that's still worth fighting for
or should i simply let you go
is there something i can do to reach you
are we something more than history
i'll find some way to convince you to stay
if you just tell me honestly
is there something left of you and me

you've got secrets you've been keeping for too long
and i'm going crazy acting like there's nothing wrong
i can taste the truth everytime we kiss
but i can't go on, at least not like this

i don't want to lose you
but what's the use of holding on
i don't really have you
if the feeling's gone

is there something i can do to reach you
are we something more than history
if there's no way to convince you to stay
and be the way we used to be
then there's something that i want to tell you
and i want you to believe it's true
we had something that i'll never forget
even if i wanted to
'cause part of me will always be with you
