Let Me Go

It took seeing me happy
to realize your mistake
and watching me smile
was all you could take

One heart too real,
another, too fake
You seemed so strong
yet you were so easy to break

There I stood, in the open
with my heart stitched to my sleeve
Just someone to love me
was all I would need

But I'd asked for too much
so you took it away
There was no more trying
No will and no way

All of the small things,
we forgot, so uncaring
And for all of the big things
we weren't very daring

We just passed them up
and left our hearts in the middle
We never cared
and we were both so belittled

So here we are
biting our tongues
to keep from saying words
we let out when we were young

I don't think I can forgive you...
I want you to know...
When you start to miss me
just remember... you let me go...
