Letting You Go
Heartbreak Symphony: A Painful Farewell by Yung Prophet
Lyrics
I never wanna live my life this way, without you
I am unwilling to continue living without you in my life.
And now I'm falling all apart again, because I know I have to
I feel like I'm breaking down because I realize I must let you go.
Yuh, I used to know how to love
I used to understand how to love.
I don't know where I went wrong
I'm unsure where I made mistakes in my understanding of love.
I thought I'd be better by now but I guess I was better before I ever brought you along
I thought I would be in a better emotional state now, but it seems I was better off before I brought you into my life.
Now I'm having these thoughts in my head and they're dangerous they hurt anybody I touch
I'm experiencing harmful thoughts that could hurt anyone I get close to.
Cuz who would've thought you'd move on to three others so easy when you're the one I loved so much
Surprised that you easily moved on to three other people after being the one I loved deeply.
Every day that would pass I would torture myself
Every day, I torture myself by thinking about you.
Start thinking of you then I check your accounts
I keep revisiting your social media profiles to find our shared pictures deleted, replaced by the person I was concerned about.
To find all our pictures deleted, and taking my place is the boy that I worried about
How could you replace me with someone I was worried about?
How could you do it?
I illuminated your life, but you put me through hardship.
I lit all your darkness then you put me through it
I'm trapped in confusion due to your choices that you claimed were illusions.
Now I'm contained in a state of confusion
Despite my pain, I don’t want to live without you.
Cuz all of your choices you claimed were delusions
I'm falling apart again because I realize I must let you go.
But I
It's been nearly a year since we decided to go our separate ways.
I never wanna live my life this way without you
I felt devastated when I heard about your passing despite all the lies and deception.
And now I'm falling all apart again, because I know I have to
I broke down and cried despite being misled by you.
It's been almost a year since the day we decided to separate paths
Despite your involvement with other people, despite my pain and tears.
I felt my world crumble all over again on the day when I heard that you passed
Despite the times you couldn't end other relationships.
I broke down and cried, despite all your lies
I gave my best to you but now feel a void in my heart.
Despite all the times that you blinded my eyes
You're being laid to rest by someone else, not me.
Despite all the guys, despite all my cries
This situation causes immense pain.
Despite every time that you couldn't cut ties
I promised to love you relentlessly until death separates us.
I gave you my best, I'm left with a hole in my chest
I acknowledge that I need to let go of the memories I cherish.
While the boy that you loved gets to lay you to rest
Although it's easy to say, it's difficult to do when reminders of you are everywhere.
And it hurts
I'm saying my final goodbye and sending a symbolic kiss to the sky.
Yet I kept my promise to love you relentlessly till we're divided by death
I'm still pondering why fate took you away so soon.
And I know, I need to let go
However, I pray every night that you're in a better place.
Of memories with you that I still keep close
I refuse to live without you in my life.
It's easy to say, so much harder to do
I'm falling apart again because I realize I must let you go.
When these little things still remind me of you
Now, I have to release my attachment to you.
So I'm saying goodbye, I swear that I tried
I'm consciously making the decision to let go of you.
A final blown kiss that I send to the sky
I'm finally releasing my grip on the memories.
I still wonder why he took you so soon
I'm bidding you farewell.
But I pray every night that you stand at his side.
I'm letting you go.
Goodbye
-I never wanna live my life this way, without you
I'm finally letting you go.
And now I'm falling all apart again, because I know I have to
I'm releasing myself from the hold you had on me.
Now I gotta let go
I'm liberating myself from the emotional pain caused by our separation.
I'm letting you go
It's time for me to move on and let you go.
Letting you go
I am consciously acknowledging the act of freeing myself from our past.
I'm letting you go
I am making the choice to release myself from the emotional ties to you.
I'm letting you go
I am now, definitively, letting you go.
