With Love, I Let You Go
[Chorus]
Your pain like gravity is pulling me down
But still I reach out for your hand, not knowing if I'll fail
In quicksand trying to escape, or just accept my fate
Being with you, it cannot, will not become my mistake
There's nothing left here, withering slowly
We lost our love long ago
Retreat into fears, now this is my home
Stay away, please do not come near
[Verse 1]
I keep thinking that I'm onto something
I keep thinking that I figured it out
Another hit, another miss, and maybe one day
I could rest and they'll have learned to live without
Who we are and who we want to be in life
Is the journey of a thousand broken nights
But with every hour that I steal from you
Is another hundred days I steal from me
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't blame yourself for my fall
I couldn't hold on with both hands
I always held one back for me
While you gave more than everything
[Chorus]
Your pain like gravity is pulling me down
But still I reach out for your hand, not knowing if I'll fail
In quicksand trying to escape, or just accept my fate
Being with you, it cannot, will not become my mistake
There's nothing left here, withering slowly
We lost our love long ago
Retreat into fears, now this is my home
Stay away, please do not come near
[Verse 2]
The time I'm alone, me and the moonlight (me and the moonlight)
We lost our love long ago
The light in my eyes, reflected in you
I have traded my soul in your name
Maybe one day you will give it back to me
A decision I am trying to avoid
But a decision that could save you and me
I don't want you to leave, I just want you to be
But I can't save you while you're with me
[Bridge 1]
Is this what it feels like to be on your own again?
The colors are brighter than I remember
Tingling sensations trickle down my spine
Was I suffocating this whole time, this whole time?
Can't remember the last time I felt this way
A beginning with no fear in sight, and a future I cannot see
This may be the last that you will ever hear from me
So listen carefully
You were everything that I ever could have wanted or needed
But being with you shouldn't feel just like giving up; or rather, giving in
And as time went on, I slowly lost myself in trying to keep us both alive
[Bridge 2]
I can hear you now saying "What can I do to fix this?"
There's nothing you can do to fix this
But I promise you're not alone
It's the hurt deep inside that has keep you from feeling alive
But I am not your savior
I am not a savior
I can't be a savior
[Final Chorus]
Your pain like gravity is pulling me down
But still I reach out for your hand, not knowing if I'll fail
In quicksand trying to escape, or just accept my fate
Being with you, it cannot, will not become my mistake
[Outro]
Your pain like gravity is pulling me down (there's nothing left here, withering slowly)
But still I reach out for your hand, not knowing if I'll fail (we lost our love long ago)
In quicksand trying to escape, or just accept my fate (retreat into fears, now this is my home)
Being with you, it cannot, will not become my mistake (stay away please do not come near)
