When You Let Me Go

by tamara   Feb 4, 2006


You and i had a blast
before reality set in
doing everything together
before our first sin.

you got into some trouble
while i tried to stay calm,
but i couldnt help but wonder
about the scars on your arm.

i didnt ask questions
because i didnt know why,
i guess i thought to myself
shes only gonna lie.

what upset me the most
is when you let me go
i was replaced by our friend
who soon became my foe.

so as jealousy crept up on me
so too did depression
suicidal thoughts
became my one true obessession

the thoughts on your mind
was a popular topic
and the cuts on your arm
made me cry and feel sick

while to you i seemed fine
i was really quite sad
emotions running through my head
most of them, real bad

i began to lose myself
because i was so scared of losing you
so scared of growing up
because i hadn\\\'t any clue

no clue of what id do
no clue of where id go
cos every single day i lived
seemed to go so slow

i felt like a nobody
i was battered and brusied
forever feeling guilty,
ashamed and confused

i wanted you to see me
but she was always in the way
i needed your shoulder to cry on
but i never had a say

i was intimidated
by the things you used to say
but i had to put myself together
thinking, \\\"just one more day\\\"

when i found out her secret
i discovered a new life
taking every precaution
to stay away from the knife

i didnt want to lose you again
because you meant to much to me
i tried to hide my jealousy
i tried to let you\\\'ze be

but i couldnt get my head around
how she could feel that way
how she could wanna be with you
and so i had my say

it was a mistake to open up
because it tore us apart
so i gave up trying
and i began a new start

its not what i wanted
or what i intended for
but i needed to stop crying
my eyes were way too sore

i might not be happy
i might not agree
but if you say that you are
set yourself free!!
