LETTING GO

I CAN'T HOLD YOU BACK FROM HAVING HAPPINESS
AS WE LOVE EACH OTHER ITS ALL BECOMING A BIG MESS
SO MUCH AT STAKE
SO MANY DECISIONS TO MAKE
BOTH HEARTS ACHE
AS WE TRY AND MAKE SENSE OF THIS SITUATION
NEITHER ONE WANTING TO WALK AWAY
PUTTING TOGETHER ALL TYPES OF SCENERIOS SO WE CAN STAY
TOGETHER
I HURT YOU WHEN I LEAVE AND I HATE THAT FEELING
I WATCH THE PAIN DANCE IN YOUR EYES FOR THERE IS SO MUCH YOU WANT TO SAY
BUT FEEL YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO EXPRESS OR ASK ME TO STAY
THIS CAT AND MOUSE THING YEAH THATS WHAT YOU CALLED IT
IS NOT GOOD FOR ANY PARTY INVOLVED
ITS PURELY BULLSHIT
WHERE I WANT TO BE IS WITH YOU
BUT STILL I'M HESITANT ON WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO DO
YOUR SAYING AND DOING THE RIGHT THINGS
BUT WHAT DOES IT ALL REALLY MEAN
I'VE MADE THE MISTAKE ONCE OF LETTING YOU LEAVE
THAT ALL I'M ASKING FOR IS SOME MORE TIME PLEASE
I'M NOT LEADING YOU ON BUT BEING REAL WITH ALL I GIVE TO YOU
TRUST THAT
I KNOW WHAT YOU COULD BE DOING
WHICH I'M NOT STOPPING YOU
BECAUSE WE ALL DESERVE HAPPINESS ESPECIALLY YOU
IF YOU WANT TO WALK AWAY IT WILL HURT BUT I WILL UNDERSTAND
MAYBE YOU WEREN'T MEANT TO BE A ROOT BUT ONLY A BRANCH
WHATEVER YOUR PURPOSE I'M HAPPY I HAD A CHANCE
TO LOVE YOU
AND FOR YOU TO LOVE ME IN RETURN
I APOLOGIZE FOR LETTING GO SO EASILY
AT THAT POINT I WAS ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT ME
WHAT I WANTED
HOW I FELT
WHAT I NEEDED
NOT REALIZING WE WERE BOTH DEALING WITH A LET DOWN
I WAS NOT PATIENT ENOUGH TO WAIT FOR WHAT I WAS DUE
AND IN RETURN THAT LEFT ME LEAVING YOU
SO NOW DO I LIVE WITH THAT OR TRY AND MAKE THINGS RIGHT
THEY SAY GOING BACK ISN'T ALWAYS GOOD
LEAVE THE PAST IN THE PAST
BUT WHEN I LOOK BACK
I FEEL ITS GRASP
ON MY HEART
ITS PULLING STRONG
HOW MUCH LONGER WILL IT HOLD ON?
