I think I need to let you go,
I think I have to really.
I think that is for the best
Though I love you dearly.
I loved you when you looked at me,
I loved you when you smiled..
I loved the moment when we first touched
I truly was beguiled.
It was my hope, my dearest wish
That you felt the same,
I hoped that you were working out
This wasn't just a game.
I wanted so very much
To be the woman you desire
To be the one and only
The one who lit your fire.
I held off being with anyone else
Because it felt like cheating
Even though you were never *mine*
This was my heart just beating.
It soared so high every time
You connected with me dearest
It fell to the pits of despair
Knowing I wasn't your nearest.
I've carried the torch too long
To see my way on the path
But now I look back on it all
It's time to do the math.
The dark night of the soul
Is knocking on my door
I do not wish a return
To all that was before.
I've walked the lonely road,
My feet and heart are aching
It's not your fault, it's mine
A responsibility I am taking.
I know they say we are ''meant to be''
But truly does it matter?
If you don't know this is the case
Then it's all just idle chatter.
If you don't feel for me
The way I feel for you
There's nothing I can say
And nothing I can do.
I think... I need to let you go
I think have to really..
So tell my why it's killing me
I am breathing, but just barely.
I feel my heart, it's screaming,
Screaming in my chest
I feel my love for you
Is dying in my breast.
Can this be the last day
That I kid myself you want me?
Can this be the last moment
That I feel that we will *be*?
Is it really all that's left
The cold memory of hope?
Was that all it ever was
And I have to learn to cope?
I am emptied out of all I am
I am not whole inside
I am broken on the floor
A part of me just died.
Do not blame yourself
The fault is mine, not yours
I never told you, angel
I just opened up the doors.
I guess I thought you might see
And then step through just one
To find me waiting, my love
Waiting here all along.
