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 recognise 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
