I LET YOU GO

Emptiness inside me, my heart has turned To ice. The city sleeps beneath a veil of mist. You promised me our love would never die. But all your words were nothing more than this. You said it would be forever, You swore you'd never leave. Now bitterness is in my heart, And there it still will breathe. I remember every evening, That warm night by the window pane. You'd hold me gently by the shoulders, And I believed you felt the same. I let you go, though inside it hurts so Badly. My soul feels torn apart, And I cry Out helplessly. I let you go, now the steel strong thread Is breaking. Just know that I will be, without you, Someone changed and new. I let you go, through bitterness and sorrow, With one faint hope. That I will Forget you. But in my memory, one moment will remain, Your smile still shining like the dawn after the Rain. The dawn turned gray like ash upon my hands. The emptiness a silent, cold decree. You say no word, you've already decided. An endless empty talk, so easily. A knot is tightening inside my throat. No words are left for me to say. Your eyes are frozen hard as granite, As you just turn away. I pretend that I am calm now, like I'm Made out of steel. I smile through all the Cracks inside me, And hide the way I really feel. We both are hopelessly exhausted. We've lost the strength to even try. You used to be so soft and tender, But now your words just cut like knives. I let you go, though inside it hurts so Badly. My soul feels torn apart, And I cry out helplessly. I let you go, now the steel strong thread Is breaking. Just know that I will be, without you, Someone changed and new. I let you go, through bitterness and sorrow, With one faint hope. That I will Forget you. But in my memory, one moment will remain, Your smile still shining like the dawn after the Rain. Goodbye, my restless heartache. My paradise that never came. You promised me forever, so now within me, Let that promise fade away. The saxophone tears silence into pieces, Like broken echoes falling through the night. It breaks the hold you had upon me, That power I no longer want to fight. I don't begin to beg you. I don't ask you to stay. I'm letting go, but somehow I still love you Anyway. I let you go, though inside it hurts so Badly. My soul feels torn apart, And I cry out helplessly. I let you go, now the steel strong thread Is breaking. Just know that I will be, without you, Someone changed and new. I let you go, through bitterness and sorrow, With one faint hope. That I will Forget you. But in my memory, one moment will remain, Your smile still shining like the dawn after the Rain. And let the new road call me far away, And let your destiny lead you to someone new. I let you go, though everything inside me breaks, And in my heart, There's only cold and gray. I let you go. But part of me Still remembers you.
