I Let You Go

from Lay It Down by Krista Herring

/

lyrics

You,
you’re out on the town tonight,
living it up
under the twinkling lights.
And I haven’t seen your face
in two hard days.
But I have no room to complain.

‘Cause I let you go.
But I still miss you, babe.
Used to be the one you’d hold,
but I think it’s better this way,
‘cause I can’t be the one you need.
Oh, but God,
your scent is still on the sheets.

So much to do, you say,
so little time.
Maybe I never even crossed your mind.
But I guess it’s good,
you’re moving on just fine.
So, I’ll ignore this empty space inside.

‘Cause I let you go.
But I still miss you, babe.
Used to be the one you’d hold,
but I think it’s better this way,
‘cause I can’t be the one you need.
Oh, but God,
I still feel your hand on my cheek.

I woke up this morning,
reached out my arm,
but only pillows met my hand.
I close my eyes again and
pretend that I don’t care
that you’re not there.

‘Cause I let you go.
But I still miss you, babe.
Used to be the one you’d hold,
but I think it’s better this way,
‘cause I can’t be the one you need.
Oh so why is this heartache tearing at me?
Doesn’t it know
that I let you go?
