Trying to Let You Go ft. Ashley B Pedigo Lyrics

If I would have told you a thousand

Times a day just how beautiful you are

Would you have been able to understand

It's not just some wish on you like a star

I gave my best, but it never sent

It only gave you something to contend

I tried to love you, but I couldn't

I'd rather let you go than pretend

The winter fell in love with spring

When flowers came the thaw revealed

The broken limb of a small offering

The winter from your warmth recoiled

With grass that will never grow

I'm just trying to let you go

You only said love when we made it

I would almost say it without thinking

Moving on doesn't make me a hypocrite

But like a child into you I was sinking

When it comes to love you were the closest

Then the sweetness you tasted aged sour

I gave my all if you cared to notice

Spring tried so hard to scrape up a flower

The spring fell in love with winter

Autumn blessed us with golden shade

Now your wind became too bitter

You've killed even what love we made

While you're out plowing snow

I'm just trying to let you go

The things I wish I could say

I'm afraid they would hurt you

So I'll refrain for another day

Instead I'll say nothing that's new

Another man got my woman

The weary blues got me

Maybe he as no need to summon

The man that I could never be

I wish you would have gotten better

Instead of hiding yourself in him

I suppose I've got nothing to offer

the best I've done is making you dim

Even now I struggle to allow

I'm still trying let you go

You shouldn't be afraid to hurt me

I've been hurt in worse ways before

Please don't take yourself so seriously

As you left you should've left bricks in door

Know that people move in different ways

I'm really doing the best that I can

I'm thankful to find a man who stays

This need in me you can't understand

I'm human like you after all is said and done

I don't need these things you want for

A battle that's hard fought and then won

I need one who takes me not one I adore

I say I don't need you though

I'm still trying to let you go
