Let Me Go

The back of my throat burns with everything I wish I could say to you

And I don't have the words to say out loud

But it's tearing me up deep deep down

And I don't have any tears left to cry

My cheeks are chapped red and salt stained dry

I don't wanna give anything I have left to you

Because I gave you my love

And you didn't want it

So you kept me in your pocket

So you could flaunt it

Never first choice but I'm always next up

When you know all I wanted was someone's love

You gave me your heart

At an arms length apart

Just enough to hold me back and make me want more

You say you love me

If you do it aint the way that I deserve to be loved

So let me go

Just let me go

It's hard to move on with you around

But my grandparents need me in town

I can't keep doing this no more

I'm tired right down to my core

I have an empty cup I still use to pour

I've given my all and then some more

I shouldn't have to beg someone for the bare minimum of what I want

Cause I gave you my love

And you didn't want it

So you kept me in your pocket

So you could flaunt it

Never first choice but I'm always next up

When you know all I wanted was someone's love

You gave me your heart

At an arms length apart

Just enough to hold me back and make me want more

You say you love me

If you do it aint the way that I deserve to be loved

So let me go

Just let me go

I think there's a life where we work out

And we have a couple kids with a nice house

And a white picket fence

But I don't think that life is right now

Don't make this harder on me

Please let me go

Just let me go
