Let Go of You

So this one is actually written from my feelings. I'd been feeling very stressed out and I couldn't get rid of it even after I cried every last tear, and I sat down and wrote this. It came to my mind as a song, but there's no chance that you'll catch me singing this. 😂

This piece talks about how someone in your life is moving on or growing up and how much it affects those around you - mentally -, and the mental feelings are what most people keep to themselves because they're afraid; but you can't be afraid. You have to have faith that if you keep hanging on especially to those you love, no matter what they're doing to you, that they will eventually come around.

I remember when
We could spend days and days on end
Talking about life.
Talking about
You and me and when
We could get together again
Just to hang out
Then something changed
I began to doubt...

Sometimes it hurts,
Sometimes it's hard,
You just have to remember
Who they really are:
They're one to forgive.
They're one to be loved.
They're one to be true.
You have to think of
What will happen if I just
Let go.
Let go of you.
What if I just...
Let go of you.

I asked you every day
How you were doing
You said okay
But I knew there was more
Than what met the eye
I could not walk away
So I just prayed.
I prayed for peace,
And to understand,
Maybe this is where I let go of your hand,
My doubt turned to fear
And my fear to pain because

Sometimes it hurts,
Sometimes it's hard,
You just have to remember
Who they really are:
They're one to forgive.
They're one to be loved.
They're one to be true.
You have to think of
What will happen if I just
Let go.
Let go of you.
What if I just...
Let go of you.

But I can't, no I can't!
If I did, there would be no reason to live
You are mine.
You are my day and my night.
In the dark, you're my light.
You light up my world because you understand what I'm going though.

This is just a phase.
A phase that will pass.

Yeah, sometimes it hurts,
And Sometimes it's hard,
But You just have to remember
Who they really are:
They're one to forgive.
They're one to be loved.
They're one to be true.
You have to think of
What will happen if I just
Let go.
Let go of you.
What if I just...
I can't Let go of you
If I did there's no telling what I would do.
No I just can't, I just can't let go of you.

I can't let go of you.

If I did, I would lose a friend.
A friend who promised she'd be there till the end.
This isn't the end.
It's just a phase,
A phase that will pass,

And I'll have you back,
At last.
