Tonight, I'm Letting You Go...

by Nonna   May 5, 2010


Tonight, I swear I will cry over you
I'll think of you and everything you used to do
I will shed as much tears as I can
I'm sorry; losing you wasn't a part of my plan

And I wish you were here and not so far apart
To grape me close, to your caring, loving heart
To wipe away these streaming tears of mine
And tell me that everything, will somehow be fine

I keep remembering each moment, I don't regret
You're the happy moments in my life, those I can't forget
I don't wanna forget how happy you made me feel
In spite of all the pain, with which I now deal

We've been through so much, yet we stood together
They'd have known, if they lived a bit of our forever
Why can't we cope, with you and I being a history
Still the special bond we had, to them is a mystery

They say all pain heal in time, but they thought wrong
When reality wakes you from your dreams, it's hard to stay strong
And I based my future on the fact that we'd be together
I thought you'd never leave, when you promised me forever

You ask me to try to live without you
When loving you is all I ever knew how to do
You were my bestest friend, you were my family
No one can replace what you've given me

You say move on and I try with all my might
Little did you know, I can't win this fight
It feels like my heart has just got impaled
I tried so many times but obviously I failed

I can't escape our past, can't erase the pain
Honey, I'm afraid i might not be happy again
I'm afraid if you insist to walk out that door
The girl you fell in love with, won't exist anymore

How would you let go of everything we shared
Could you find someone else, to care like I cared
Could she take care of you, making sure you're always fine
Would you, honey, give her everything that was mine?

And the sweet little things we felt, that we didn't understand
Wouldn't you trade all the pain with one touch of my hand?
Wouldn't you trade all the pain and all the sorrow?
With one, just one more happy tomorrow

I haven't been the same since the day we departed
I had never felt so hollow, so broken hearted
I miss you so much, I'm all lonely inside
I try to hold my feelings but I just can't hide

I miss the way you talk and how you can see
A beauty that no one can see, each time you look at me
"Don't go" I hear you whispering, for a moment I hear your voice
But you know, I'd have stayed if you had given me a choice

If you had given yourself the chance, to believe
That we were going to last, together happiness we would achieve
If you took some time to think of us to
Everything we did share and everything we planned to

If you wanna let go, I'm begging you to stay
But if you really can honey, don't look back just walk away
I loved you like no other because I knew you did the same
But now I see a stranger, one with a familiar name

So as I lay awake in bed, tonight
I close my eyes shut and real tight
I start to speak as tears fall from my eye
I say my prayer "Please God...." and I sigh

"Please God; take care of him always and forever
Please God, don't let him get hurt, not ever
Please God, if he did me wrong, I forgive him, I swear
Please God, make him happy, if not with me, I don't care
Please God, give him the strength to forget others mistakes
Please God, let him reach his goals, no matter what it takes
Please God, give him the wisdom to know right from wrong
Please God, when life fails him, keep him strong"
And "Please God, help me, I have no one around
Please God, help me, I fell, crashed on the ground
Please God, help me, I'm down on my knees
Please God, help me, please god, please"

So tonight is the night, I will give up trying
I'll fake this smile, from now on, keep on denying
Because I loved you more than I thought I know
And because I loved you, Tonight, I'm Letting You Go...
