Releasing You
Emotional Liberation: Releasing the Bonds of Love
Lyrics
I know it's hard to find the words
I understand that expressing feelings is challenging.
I know it's hard to show me where it hurts
Acknowledging difficulty in revealing emotional pain.
But I know you, like you know me
There's mutual understanding between us.
And I know you'd never leave unless you needed to
Confidence that leaving is not without a valid reason.
So I'm releasing you
Choosing to let go and free the other person.
Just give me one more kiss before you go
Seeking a final intimate moment before departure.
Look me in the eye and promise me you didn't know
Requesting honesty about not foreseeing the end.
That one day you would let it break
Acknowledging the eventual heartbreak.
And watch as we evaporate
Visualizing the relationship fading away.
And I'll pretend that I can still believe in you
Maintaining a facade of belief before letting go.
Before releasing you
Finalizing the act of releasing the other person.
I'll be ok without your touch
Claiming independence from physical closeness.
I'll even learn to live without your love
Expressing readiness to live without romantic love.
And if I'm honest with myself
Acknowledging personal emotional pain.
All this time I have been bleeding too
Realizing that both have suffered in the relationship.
So I'm releasing you
Choosing to let go and free the other person (repeated).
Just give me one more kiss before you go
Requesting a last kiss before parting.
Look me in the eye and promise me you didn't know
Asking for assurance of unintentional hurt.
That one day you would let it break
Anticipating the pain of separation.
And watch as we evaporate
Imagining the relationship dissolving.
And I'll pretend that I can still believe in you
Maintaining a facade of belief before letting go (repeated).
Before releasing you
Finalizing the act of releasing the other person (repeated).
Before releasing you
Reiteration of the decision to let go.
I know it's hard to find the words
Understanding the difficulty in communication.
I know it's hard to show me where it hurts
Acknowledging difficulty in revealing emotional pain (repeated).
But I know you, like you know me
There's mutual understanding between us (repeated).
And I know you'd never leave unless you needed to
Confidence that leaving is not without a valid reason (repeated).
So I'm releasing you
Finalizing the act of releasing the other person (repeated).
