Let You Go
Woke up to your message,
Thought it wasn't real.
I had to re-read it,
Until I understood this is how you feel.
I make you unhealthy,
We were fading apart.
You could have talked to me,
Instead, you broke my heart.
I don't know what to do,
I feel alone and lost.
Gotta find a way to forget you,
But what will be the cost?
I gotta let you go,
Can't stand to see you hurt.
I'm letting my feelings show,
As these tears stain my shirt.
You asked about forever,
And I told you always.
Looks like it turned into never,
As I lie alone counting the days.
It'll take some getting used too,
That there's no longer an us.
But I make this promise to you,
That I won't let our memories fade to dust.
Take some time to think,
Have a little space.
Maybe we can re-link,
After you dry your face?
Don't say it wasn't worth a thing,
You know well enough it was.
We both know this isn't some fling,
So I'll continue to call just because.
Don't shut me out,
This isn't how it goes.
Hear what I'm about,
I think you already know.
I gotta let you go,
Can't stand to see you hurt.
I'm letting my feelings show,
As these tears stain my shirt.
You asked about forever,
And I told you always.
Looks like it turned into never,
As I lie alone counting the days.
It'll take some getting used too,
That there's no longer an us.
But I make this promise to you,
That I won't let our memories fade to dust.
We ended it over text,
You told me I deserve the best.
What happens next?
I don't wanna be another ex.
Look at you, look at I,
Can you see the pain in goodbye?
I must have been the wrong guy,
Because the right one isn't supposed to make you cry...
I gotta let you go,
Can't stand to see you hurt.
I'm letting my feelings show,
As these tears stain my shirt.
You asked about forever,
And I told you always.
Looks like it turned into never,
As I lie alone counting the days.
It'll take some getting used too,
That there's no longer an us.
But I make this promise to you,
That I won't let our memories fade to dust.
