If I told you that I loved you
Tell me
What would you say?
If I told you that I hated you
Would you go away?
If I came to you crying
One random night
What would you tell me?
"It'll be alright"?
Would you push me away
and let me go
Or try your best to hold me close?
What do you feel?
Is this a dream?
It can't be real
Just make-believe
Everything's switched
All upside-down
But maybe we can fix it
this time around
What would delay
Just a "Hi" or a simple wave?
I wish it were easy
But you're making it hard
"Let go of this feeling"
That's not happening
So I guess i'll just stay
Still thinking
In my backyard

Ink marks on a field of white
"What am I supposed to write?"
It's not the mark, but what comes through
A tear from one, a laugh from two

"I love you."
What a lie
Can you tell the truth?
Just once? Just this time?
Why do this?
Why lie
To me
My entire life
I believed you
But then
Questioned everything you said
How sad it is
To use a kid
Just a pawn in your game
And for what?
For everything to stay the same?
Nothing changed, It never will
Was breaking me part of the deal?
Well congrats
Your deal was sealed
Pulled me back and forth
Just a game of tug of war
No one wins
What's sad is this
A shattered girl is all that's left
Unfixed and unmended
Because of you
She's left, Forever broken

I laugh and smile and wave goodbye
Then sit alone and cry at night
No one noticed
No one tried
To unmask the pain behind my eyes
It's a talent
To pretend
To have no one ask "What happened?"
It's a cycle
Just a game
"I'm fine, nothing's changed."
How can someone bear such pain?
It's not over, Never was
Maybe I just need a hug
I'm a child after all
No one saw the truth behind my walls
So I carry on through the years
Living a lie and hiding tears
Since no one noticed, no one cared
I carried burdens and learned to bear.

On my mind
All the time
Am I on yours?
It's not a crime

Ever thought of calling?
When you've had a few?
I always do
Would you come to me?
Cause i'd go to you

I've never had a shoulder to cry on
Someone to call mine
but I think
I've fallen in love this time

Unfortunately
I know how this ends
For all I am
Is a
Hopeless Romantic

But i'll keep hoping
For this feeling is all that's left in me
And though I know how this ends
My hopeful heart refuses to agree

Let it go
I try, but it tightens its hold
Let it go
Its been so long, yet it haunts me

Let it go
Squeezing tighter, it's suffocating
Let it go
I thought it was gone, but it's here to say hello

Let it go
I run, I hide, I scream
"Leave me!"
But no, it still holds

Let it go
It's not your fault
Never was
Never will be

Let it go
It's slow, but suddenly
I can breathe again
Gone are these burdens

Let it go
I cry for what I had
I weep for what I know
I grieve what I've lost
But finally

I let it go
