Let You Go

Slipping into old routines Without you there to check on me But you weren't very good at that to begin with Told me once you felt more like a caretaker Than my lover And honestly when I look back I get it Sewing up all my wounds alone now I can't help but wanna make you proud now I'm sorry that I crushed you under All the weight I couldn't take Because I was too young to understand What it meant to ask for help Before you put on your seatbelt And I made you a safer place to land I planted your resentment I watered it to grow Watched the roots travel so deep You couldn't let them go So I let you go Dusted myself off more times In these 5 months than my whole life And standing here I know I'm stronger for it Sewing up all my wounds alone now I can't help but think you'd be so proud now I'm sorry that I crushed you under All the weight I couldn't take Because I was too young to understand What it meant to ask for help Before you put on your seatbelt And I made you a safer place to land I planted your resentment I watered it to grow Watched the roots travel so deep You couldn't let them go So I let you go, I let you go Our time was exhausting at best But I also laughed so hard it hurt my chest I'm sorry that I crushed you under All the weight I couldn't take Because I was too young to understand What it meant to ask for help Before you put on your seatbelt And I made you a safer place to land I planted your resentment I watered it to grow Watched the roots travel so deep You couldn't let them go So I let you go go go
