I Can Let You Go Lyrics

You paint a pretty face, but I see your pain

Hide behind a mask, but the cracks remain

You're stitching up the wounds, but the scars won't heal

Don't try to change me, when you can't feel

There was a time

When I would try to drink away the pain trapped within my mind

There was a time

When I would cry as my heart fell apart from love I couldn't find

So in this relationship I try to compromise

But please don't confuse me otherwise

I would rather be feared or despised

Than to cower to someone's disguise

I can let you go

You know

I'd rather let you go

I see the weight you carry, the burden's too much

You're reaching out to me, but I can't be your crutch

Before you try to change me, look inside

Find the strength to heal your wounds, don't hide

There was a time

When I would try to drink away the pain trapped within my mind

There was a time

When I would cry as my heart fell apart from love I couldn't find

So in this relationship I try to compromise

But please don't confuse me otherwise

I would rather be feared or despised

Than to cower to someone's disguise

I can let you go

You know

I'd rather let you go

You're drowning in your sorrow, can't you see

How can you heal me when you're incomplete

Don't try to fix what's shattered, it's too deep

You can't save me, when you're too scared to even sleep

There was a time

When I would try to drink away the pain trapped within my mind

There was a time

When I would cry as my heart fell apart from love I couldn't find

So in this relationship I try to compromise

But please don't confuse me otherwise

I would rather be feared or despised

Than to cower to someone's disguise

I can let you go

You know

I'd rather let you go

Stop mending what you can't see

You're drowning, stop trying to rescue me

Don't wanna fight, stop the masquerade

You can't fix me when your heart's still afraid

There was a time,

When I would try to drink away the pain trapped within my mind

There was a time

When I would cry as my heart fell apart from love I couldn't find

So in this relationship I try to compromise

But please don't confuse me otherwise

I would rather be feared or despised

Than to cower to someone's disguise

I can let you go

You know

I'd rather let you go
