Letting you go

Letting You Go
I know not what to say, and where to place my heart.
I honestly loved you straight from the start.

With love came pain, and with pain came tears.
I never thought it would end after so many years.

I thought I could trust you to always be on my side.
When you told me about her I sat there and cried.

I finally got up the nerve to tell you something straight from the heart.
After telling you this, I didn't expect my world to fall apart.

Things became obstacles. Love became a game.
I was the loser. My love and pride were put to shame.

Although I didn't succeed, I gave it my all.
And although I was hurt, I will always stand tall.

You can't let a pebble drag you down to a stop.
So I can't keep thinking this is all my fault.

ALl I was doing was letting you know,
and now all you are doing is letting me go.

I know you have but what am I to do?
Am I supposed to give up, stop caring for you?

God put you here for a reason, and I thought I knew the one,
but I guess I was wrong now that you and I are done.

You have succeeded in making me cry.
It's hard to hold back tears, but I know I have to try.

I have to get over you, I have to move on.
I have to let go, let our memories be gone.

I can't keep blaming myself for my broken heart.
It's not my fault; you are the one that tore it apart.

I have to move on so far away from you.
You got me to a place where I don't know what to do.

You talked me through everything, every step of the way.
You said never take anyhting for granted; never look past today.

Don't waste your time on unneeded things.
Don't ever let a guy play your heart as a game.

Well evidently, you were unneeded, your love was wasted time.
And of course you didn't take you own advise, because the heart you played was mine.

One day I will forgive you, atleast I think I will.
Then one day you will hurt me again and my heart will have to re-heal.

I wasn't looking for a broken-heart, I wasn't looking for tears,
but after my heart broke, and the tears fell, I know now what to do after all these years.
