Letting You Go

by buffduff   Jan 31, 2007


It started out so great,
Me and you were so close,
The best of friends there ever was,
And so deep in love,
The kind of love that lasts forever,
But forever is just a lie.

Your mouth still tells me it loves me,
Though your actions say otherwise.
I'm always noticing your eyes,
But there never looking at me,
Constantly thinking about others,
You just have no time for us.

So I have to wonder why I'm still here,
Am I just a sucker for pain?
Because I can't leave you,
No matter how many times I tell myself too,
Drawn back into your lies,
Lies that break me inside.

All my friends suggest I walk away,
Never look back at what we was,
If only it were that simple.
My heart doesn't listen like that,
You've broke it so many times,
That it will stay cracked until I die.

Sitting in silence on my bed,
Looking at photos of us,
Fake smiles staring back at me,
And tears start to roll down my cheek,
Splashing onto the page,
I end up crying myself to sleep again.

Maybe I'll be better off alone,
Cus right now I feel empty inside.
You were my entire world,
Now it's time for it all to change.
This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do,
But I just have to let go of you.
