I Need to let go

by Cathy   Jan 24, 2007


I need to let go, no point in holding onto you anymore
I need to get over my feelings and accept whats in store
Nothing has changed things have remained the same
the hate, the pain, and the torture Ive experience I have only myself to blame

For thinking that things would somehow turn out for the better
I stayed with you through all types of weather
I let you stomp on my heart and bring me down
I let you turn my smiles into frowns

I stuck by you while you criticized my every goal
you treated me as if I was some h*e
and through all that I still loved you
even when I was played for a fool
but I'm tired now I don't have much strength left
I live every day feeling regrets

I don't want to live like this anymore
for almost nine years it was your love I fought for
I fought to have it, I fought to keep it
But in the end by myself I sit

Through the drinking, the smoking I stood right there
while you let your life slip away I still cared
Through the cheating and the lies I stayed with you
through the fights and hits I stayed true

When you were out all night doing what you do
you said things would get better between us two
So I waited at home alone every night
holding in my anger so we wouldn't fight

And when you were selfish and never looked at your flaws
I let you think all the fights I had caused
When you couldn't even be there for the kids
Everything that you didn't do I did

When I needed you to just be there like you should
I believed it when you said you would
But now that I look back it wasn't worth it at all
You always know ways to make me fall

And you don't seem to care cause its always about you
But I refuse to be played over again like a fool
I played the fool before for too long
and everything you did to hurt me was wrong

So I will be fine once I let you go
I know in my heart I will still miss you so
I always believed that in that body you were still there
I never believed that you didn't care
But now the reality of it is getting clearer by the moment
our love was once there but it came and went
