Let Down

by Emily Strickland   Apr 23, 2005


Everything seems so fake,
its hard to find whats real.
I'm stuck with no emotions,
I dont know how to feel.

Things have all been changed,
I've let you down for good.
This happened for a reason,
though its still not understood.

We were only fooling ourselves,
its something we both knew.
I'm sorry for what I did,
and all I've put you through.

I'm forced to lie in this bed,
and live with my mistakes.
Trying to find some forgiveness,
I'll do whatever it takes.

I wish we could erase this,
but its just out of our hands.
Its time to say we're sorry,
and begin to make amends.

In time this all will pass,
even though the road is long.
But this guilt will always stay
to remind me what I did wrong.

I wish we could turn around,
and retrace every step.
Let go of all the anger,
move on and just forget.

But things just dont work out,
as well as you'd like them too.
I guess thats the reason why,
I have to let go of you.

Someday I hope you'll forgive,
and let the past go free.
So then we can both go on,
living without this misery.
