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
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

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

Just for the three that we made with me
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
