Let Me Go

You were sitting at your bed And grinning from ear to ear I can smell the evening Things seem pleasing to you, only you I was waiting up for you Well, I worried about you I put them to bed They missed their dad Just where in hell were you The first stop, it's always true That's my first suggestion to you I can do my best for you to get some rest And you tell me just what you did I want to help you I want to bring you back to life But your sad, sick brain knows one damn thing And God, it comes out every night Don't let me go Don't let me go Your choices, they're hard to make You make this harder every day I'm sure I'm leaving I'm more deceiving I'm fumbling for words to say I gave you everything I had Well, I loved you 'til death That heart's going to beat You're able to breathe But surely you're dead to me The shivers and shakes your body makes Are gonna go away That's the price you pay for the games you play And nothing's going to change I can't help you I can't bring you back to life You can find your help from someone else Who's there and has the time Don't let me go Don't let me go You don't let me go Don't let me go, go Try to get dressed And you put your shoes on Let's get to the car Let's make this right The drive is short, but it sure feels long That's just how it is when you're leaving home This isn't the end of your life It's more like a pause and soon there's a start You'll be back on your feet again in no time But if you're not with me, then the hell I'm just not fine I tried convincing God to change you We had it out, and he said no He said a choice is a choice, and he says you made it He'll help you along, but God, why is nothing free? You filled me up with hope, God, I've used it I've used it all on you, can't you see it? There comes a time when you choose for another So I'm making this choice Just for the three that we made with me Don't let me go Don't let me go Don't let me go
