Let you go

I let you go. I let you go
I let you go.
I let go. I let go.
I let go....

I forgot how to breathe, when you said that you did not need me.
It feels like the world took off and I was left standing here.
Waiting for your return, because you are all I need for me.
Because I lived you lived for you, and forgot that I can be free.

I followed you, even when the road seemed to me a dangerous
I followed you, like fire and water were not an obstacle
Just now I understand that your plans were treacherous
Because you watched, and then swooping down and hit me like an eagle

Now you walk away with loud angry words
And I want to stay and see how you slam the door
Begin a new day, I have good memories that were before
To make sure,
to make sure
What lesser of two evils was to let you go

Emptiness in my heart, but know that it will soon be gone
I remember everything to prevent this anymore
When despair replaced tenderness, I will be done
With you, all my memories I will ignore
