Why Can't I Let You Go?

Attempting to dissolve away
I stood outside in the rain
Memories haunt me
Trying to see the point but all I see is pain
Sleep becomes restless nights
Tainted by the stains of your pillow
The smell of you, the thought of you
The highs feel low

How did you get here?
Why can't I let you go?

My tears flow like rivers
Eyes swollen shut
Wishing that fact was fiction
Suffering from the deepest of cuts
Your name stuck in the back of my throat
Unable to speak or swallow
Pictures tease me
Crying, my voice becomes hollow

How did you get here?
Why can't I let you go?

Wishing the wind will take me
Fly me far away from here
This is a difficult situation
With feelings that won't disappear
Love made me like this
Broken and feeling low
How did you get here?
Why can't I let you go?
