Letting You Go

I still feel the catch in my breath

I still feel the heat of your hands

I still feel the words you said

Colder than the ones I made up in my head

And I let shadows fall on my face

Sparing you the battle between pity and shame

And I got all the way down the block

Before the world came under water

And I had to

Stop

<span tts:fontStyle="italic">Oh, oh, oh</span>

If they made a puzzle of us

Halfway through they'd run out of luck

No one would try to make it fit

Except for this stupid girl

With blind ambition

And I know sometimes things don't work out

And I know that no one can

Take all the blame

And I know there will be someone new

To steal away these thoughts I keep having of you

And all of these things I know

But how you could you let me go

And I can say I did everything

I told you how I was feeling

But you were just placating me

Leaving me the ghost of

What we could

Be

And all of these things I know

But how you could you let me

<span tts:fontStyle="italic">Go, oh, oh, oh</span>

I've got to let you go

I've got to let you go

I've got to let you go

Oh, I am letting you go

'Cause you let me go

<span tts:fontStyle="italic">Oh</span>
