Why won't you let her go? She continuously shakes free But you come back instantly Constricting her with fear You're latching on so hard To think that she hasn't broken yet Is beyond both of you Let me go... She pleads for a lifetime of release Away from your tainted world Pain follows her around Like a shroud of protection To keep you at bay You wonder endlessly Why you're always hurting At the end of the day Perhaps you made a mistake Pricking your finger on a rose bush Crimson stains galore She gave you the chance To turn this around To walk away without a glance Why won't you let her go?

Let Go
Why won't you let her go? She continuously shakes free But you come back instantly Constricting her with fear You're latching on so hard To think that she hasn't broken yet Is beyond both of you Let me go... She pleads for a lifetime of release Away from your tainted world Pain follows her around Like a shroud of protection To keep you at bay You wonder endlessly Why you're always hurting At the end of the day Perhaps you made a mistake Pricking your finger on a rose bush Crimson stains galore She gave you the chance To turn this around To walk away without a glance Why won't you let her go?
Please, let go.. You're killing me.
