I'm letting go
Because a whisper isn't loud enough for me
And I hope you know
Your words were too sweet for me
With your tongue like cotton candy, dissolving in the tear drops dripping down my cheeks
And I wish you were here when I fell asleep but you would be the death of me
Cause our love is destroying every part of me I once knew
Because the second you walk in the room, every part of me becomes a part of you
And I can't stand to be made into someone I don't know
So let me go

Have mercy Aphrodite, have mercy on my hopeless romantic soul
Console me Aphrodite with your voice of liquid gold
And hold me, hold me, hold me down
Because the more I fight, the less I'll beg to turn back

Your smiles are soft as cashmere and your eyes can bring me home but I know
You aren't truly there
And I know you wish to turn me into the same shell of a person you have become
So hold me tight, Aphrodite
Please don't let go, Aphrodite
Cause every part of me is a part of you
And after everything I went through for you
I wish I still needed you
And after all things you've said to me, lied to me and bared your teeth
I don't miss you, I'm sorry I can't miss you

So Aphrodite I pray for thee, may you be spared from my Catholic family
You can be a curse and a blessing, both you've shown me
But your love is a lesson that I can't bear to teach
So leave me Aphrodite, some things can simply never be
