Let Go

I grab your hand you let go

You shake your head and say 'no'

I feel my voice collapse with my hopes

You turn your back and time slows oh

You leave the bar

I leave my drink and my coat where they are

And follow you on to the street

You turn around look at the ground

And say ‘don’t follow when I leave’

Okay

You said ‘you love me’ oh

That I could trust you oh

You’d never leave me oh

After all we got through oh

I took my chances oh

Strayed all my bounders oh

But you don’t need me oh

Better off without me oh

I chase the rain down the window

You’re all I see wherever I go

You’re all I see even with my eyes closed

Hidden memories in magazines enclosed in photos at home

You’re in my sleep, in my day-dreams, in a crowded street or on my own

While I can’t eat I bet you sleep with someone’s heat against your bones

But

You said ‘you love me’ oh

That I could trust you oh

You’d never leave me oh

After all we got through oh

I took my chances oh

Strayed all my bounders oh

But you don’t need me oh

Better off without me oh

I don’t see you for some time

Yet, every day you’re still in my mind

I’m moving forward no longer the tortured by the person that you ar-r-r-re-e

I met someone new, yes, they’re not you, but I still wonder how you are

I lie in bed and smile at my life

Glad I saw sense in the bright lights

It’s dark outside, I go down stairs, look at the door there’s someone there

I hear a knock and my heart drops, I’d recognize it anywhere

I open the door, I see your face, there’s a pause, and then you say

‘Babe

I said ‘I loved you’ oh

That you could trust me oh

I’d never leave you oh

If things were ugly oh

I took my chances oh

I strayed all your bounders oh

But I still need you oh

I’m nothing without you oh

You grab my hand I let go, oh
