Let 'Em Go

At least, I could wake up
And realize my life didn't end
These cuts and these bruises just meant
You were more than a friend
At least, I can say this is
More than farewell
And all these emotions are just
Too much to tell
But they're not
And I'm here
Bloody well

So what? Paper cut
I'll just go on for a while
Buy myself crocodile leather shoes
No you-blues
Won't stop and take the time
You wasted yours, don't waste mine and

You can't blame me for anything
You can't contain me
Though you tried religiously

These are the things I say
You refuse to see
Trying to show you
The side you've never seen of me
I hid these painful words
Oh, ain't that good of me
See, these words aren't free
Until I let 'em go

I bet you sweat
Dreading each night alone
With your skin and bone
Never get me
Won't you let me alone

Stop trying to find the logic
In you and me
You find some, I know you've
Lost all your sanity
Not that I said I haven't

These are the things I say
You refuse to see
Trying to show you the side
You've never seen of me
I hid these painful words
Oh, ain't that good of me
See, you won't leave me be
And so I'll let 'em go
Just watch me let 'em go

Don't give a wild thing your heart
You'll think they love you
From the start
Maybe it's true, it won't stop
The wind from calling them away
Your love will give them strength to fly
Into a tree and then, the sky
Holly Golightly rightly said
And you'll think you're better off dead

But don't think I'm a bitch
I just withheld these words for so long
Too long
Pathetic, I know, you shant hear them
Lest you hear this song

I know once you do
Can't convince you I care
I know that's not true
So I'm glad you're not here
So, for now
Release these words

I'll let 'em go

Fuck 'im
