Let You Go
Healing Echoes: Moving On from Love's Razor Sharp Pain
Lyrics
Your mind moved on
Your thoughts moved forward, progressed.
But your body didn't know
Your physical self remained attached or stuck in the past.
It was time to let go
It was necessary to release or move on.
It took a while to realize
It took time to understand.
That you would never want to be around
Realization that being without you was undesired.
Without your feet on the ground
Not feeling grounded or stable without your presence.
Then you crossed that razor sharp line
You crossed a point of no return, a critical boundary.
There's no soft edges I can find
No easy or gentle aspects are perceptible in this situation.
There's no turning back this time
No possibility of reversing or going back.
You're just gone
You've disappeared or left entirely.
Now I gotta let you go
I must release you from my emotions to stop the pain.
So it won't hurt no more
To avoid further emotional suffering.
If I could let you go
If I could release you emotionally.
Then I wouldn't feel sick no more
To alleviate my emotional distress.
Sometimes I wonder
Contemplating if being less close would make the pain less intense.
If we hadn't gotten so close
Maybe the pain wouldn't be as severe.
This wouldn't hurt as much I suppose
This emotional pain might have been lessened.
I could survive a hundred lonely years
Could endure a long time if a particular moment could be reclaimed.
If I could get back just a moment
If only that moment with you remained.
You were standing here
You were present in that moment.
But you crossed that razor sharp line
Similar to line 8, emphasizing the irreversibility of a decision.
There's no soft edges I can find
There are no gentle or easy aspects to this separation.
There's no turning back tonight
No chance to go back from this separation tonight.
You're just gone
You've completely departed or vanished.
Now I gotta let you go
I have to release you emotionally to stop the pain.
So it won't hurt no more
To avoid further emotional suffering.
If I could let you go
If I could emotionally let you go.
I wouldn't feel sick no more
To alleviate my emotional distress.
And I'm trying to find that time when I
Attempting to find a time when reminiscing doesn’t cause pain.
Can smile about all these lonely memories
To someday find joy in these solitary memories.
Maybe eventually
Maybe in the future.
If I could just let you go
If I could emotionally release you.
I let you go
Expressing the successful emotional release.
It doesn't hurt no more
No emotional pain remains.
I could let you go
If I could emotionally release you.
No I don't feel sick no more
No emotional distress remains.
Now I find with the passing time
Over time, coping with just memories.
I'll be all right with only the memories
Eventually feeling okay with only memories you left.
That you gave to me
Memories you bestowed upon me.
I can let you go
Emotionally releasing you.
I could let you go
If I could emotionally release you.
I can let you go
Emotionally letting you go.
I can let you, I can let you go
Repeated affirmation of emotional release.</td
