~Sammy, You Can Let Go Now~
His words sting, like knives in your heart
You admit to him that you're falling apart
Why do you let him do this?
Waiting for some sort of possible bliss?
Waiting for a chance at a happy ending?
Meanwhile you just have to keep pretending
Pretending to be happy, and be okay
While he knows you're struggling yet again today
Push, pull, tug, shove
This is what you want? You call this love?
Tough love, you say to yourself in tears
This is what you want? This is with whom you want to spend your years?
Sammy, you can let go now
You don't need this, let me teach you how
Feel the pain, realize this brings him joy
He doesn't treasure your heart, to him, it's just a toy
Sammy, Sweetie, you can let go
Don't shake your head, don't keep saying "No"
Honestly, what are you fighting for anymore
You're stronger than this, just walk out the damn door
You fought long and hard to keep this up
But let's face it, the path has gotten way too rough
Sammy, you're hanging yourself and Abi's the rope
Yet still, you refuse to give up hope
But be as it may and try as you might
There's no telling if Abi is going to make this right
You can't keep fighting if he doesn't want you
There's only one thing that you can do
Sam, you gave him the choice, what if he walks?
Maybe he's tired of these serious talks
What if he doesn't want to fight for you
Then tell me, what will you do?
Continue fighting for nothing at all?
Stumbling, tripping, taking endless falls
All for what? Because you love this guy
Is that the answer for why you let yourself cry?
Right now, you're glass waiting to be shattered
All because he makes you feel like you don't matter
Be ready, Sammy, he's going to let go
You'll kick and scream and tell him "No."
You'll fight and fight until he doesn't reply
Then every night, you'll lay in bed and cry
Tell yourself you should've plead the fifth
From this fall, there'll be no lift
So get ready, get set, his answer is coming soon
Will you be happy with his answer? Or are you doomed?
Minute by minute, time ticks by
What's taking so long? What does he have to say? Are you going to cry?
Minutes turn into an hour
Your mood is growing increasingly sour
Your heart is pounding in your ears
You're even on the verge of tears
Last time he thought this hard, he chose another girl
You think this answer is going to mess up your world
"I'm thinking," he says, "It's harder than it seems"
You're thinking about what this means
What's so hard? Stay or walk out.
Meanwhile you're trying not to scream and shout
