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
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 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 daydreams
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
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 are
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 downstairs
Look out 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
