Can't Let Go [Part 2/3]

by Brianna   Dec 9, 2006


Tears streak down a dirt-covered face
And I stare at the enticing surface of the knife
But I'm too scared to do it
Too afraid to take my life

Why does fear meet me at every corner?
Why can't I turn on the light?
Why does my existence have to be
An endless struggle and fight?

No matter where I go, it doesn't matter what I do
I can't escape the hurt
I can't let go of you
I don't have what it takes, my heart still breaks
In two
'Cause I just can't let go of you

Lookin' at my face in the mirror
Don't recognize the girl staring back at me
The smile's disappeared, I bear tear-filled eyes
This isn't how it was meant to be!

Why has the real me hidden away?
Will I ever love again?
How do I forget what happened between us?
How do I escape from then?

No matter where I go, it doesn't matter what I do
I can't escape the hurt
I can't let go of you
I don't have what it takes, my heart still breaks
In two
I can't let go of you

Shards of broken glass under bare feet
I cry out in pain as they cut me deep
No way to get around it
Forever, these scars I'll keep

Who do I turn to now?
Will I ever be able to stop the tears?
Why does this life have to be mine?
Why do I suffer as the world around me sneers?

No matter where I go, it doesn't matter what I do
I can't escape the hurt
I can't let go of you
I don't have what it takes, my heart still breaks
In two
I miss you
'Cause I can't let go of you

I miss the love, I miss the smiles
I miss the laughs and your kiss
With anyone else it'll never be the same
I can't forget all this!

Why can't I turn away for good?
Why must I sit and stare?
Why do I constantly torture myself
Living without you; it's not fair!

No matter where I go, it doesn't matter what I do
I can't escape the hurt
I can't let go of you
I don't have what it takes, my heart still breaks
In two
I can't let go of you
