I've Held On For So Long But I've Had To Let You Go

by xoOrdinaryGirlox   Mar 9, 2008


Instantly trapped by that compassionate smile
I was stripped of my power
Became a victim of your glistening eyes
Within that very first hour

Now crying at the very sight of a picture
Memories kicking into overdrive
You left, packed your bags and walked
Another tear stained river, into which, I dive

I remember you walking up, asking to dance
Tall, dark and handsome how can a girl resist?
Blissfully aware of hidden skeletons in his closet
To her, a dream come true, it must persist

You did the dirty; my dignity robbed
How could you do this after only a year?
I thought I meant something, instead you stole
You left me with nothing; nothing but fear

I loved you, you obviously didn't notice
Never cared what I really thought
You knew this relationship would go no-where
No matter how much I fought

Now after all this time, it's you I still love
After all that you put me through
After 5 years I've held on to that relationship
I think now I have to let go of you

Ditch all the photos; the tough time
Erase all the memories; the worst time
Throw away bits and bobs of yours; the silent time
Mend my shattered heart; the final time
