I Have To Let Go

by Monica Rae   Oct 1, 2006


I Walk Toward The Dock
And I Stare At The Boat
Filled With People Who Live Lies

I Cry And Beg Them
To Just Be Real
But They Turn Their Backs

How Am I Supposed To Talk
How Am I Supposed To Try
When Your Back Is Facing Me
And You Let Out A Sigh

I've Held My Hand Out
But You Will Not Hold On
Why

I Am Broken And Torn
Shattered And Ashamed
At The Way I've Been Treated

I Try One Last Time
Because I Need You The Most
And Once Again You Turn

Turn Against Me To Face The Wind
To Face What This World Has Offer
This World Of The Devil

I Speak To You The Truth
And You Curse And Laugh
You Have Disowned Me

You Are Just Luggage Now
Some Extra Baggage
For Me To Carry Around

I Don't Need It
I Have To Much Going On

So I Lean Toward The Boat
I Slowly Untie The Rope
And I Push You Away

This Is My Duty
I Am Not Supposed To Carry Luggage
So I Have To Let You Go

But If You Ever Come Back
With An Extended Hand
I'll Be Here
And I Wanted To Let You Know

But Until That Day
I Cannot Go On
With The Pain That You
Have Ultimatly Caused

You Will Never Know
How Much I Am Hurting
And Will Never Even Begin To Try

And I See That Now
But I Couldn't Before

You Will Always Be In My Heart
And I Will Think Of You Everyday
..>..>
But It's Time That I Let Go

The Day You Are Strong Enough
And The Day You Are Ready
To Extend Your Hand Again
And Promise To Love Me No Matter
I'll Be Here

But I Can't Do It Right Now
Because Each And Every Day
I Catch Each One Of You
In Yet Another Lie

So I've Untied The Rope
And I've Pushed The Boat
But It's Up To You
To Come Back...
