My Scars Exposed #wattys2018

Just Let Me Go

        I know I was never good enough for you,

        That you come around when you need a bit of love.

        That's what they all do.

        But darling, haven't you had enough?

        I push you away every time,

        Because at this point I've learned, I know.

        I'll always be yours, you'll never be mine.

        So why can't you let me go?

        You know I'm due to leave this world,

        I'm not strong enough to go on.

        I'm not gonna be your backstage girl,

        it's been that way for too long.

        Stealing kisses in the dark,

        that isn't how it should be.

        You're built to break hearts,

        not to pretend for me.

        

        So baby, let me go.

        Pretend we never met.

        No one has to know,

        If you never forget.

        I know how love is,

        you know how it happens.

        You cling to it, cherishing it,

        Until it all ends.

        But it doesn't have to be this way,

        You and I never really were.

        I'm the 'girl of yesterday,'

        You're the one who loves to hurt.

        

        So please, just let me go...
