Can't Let You Go

I want to crawl into my bed and die.

I want to forget all the mistakes I made.

I want to forget about yesterday.

I want to hide in the shadows of your heart and help you ease your pain.

I'm lifting you up as you're letting me down and still

I can't let you go.

Your words were so strong they pierced me like thorns, as I read the note in my head, the words you didn't have the courage to say.

You lied to me, or are you lying to her?

I didn't think it right, you telling me you loved me, as she waits for your call.

I decided to end it all.

You called me up, I said hello, you had something to tell me, and I wanted to know.

You wanted to kiss me that day at school; I skipped class just to be with you.

You want to be with me, but I don't think it's true.

"We shouldn't talk anymore;" is what I told you.

You have a girlfriend and it's not right, then I heard you cry.

I went back to school and apologized.

I can't pretend that your not there, I love you, even if you don't care.

One of your friends called me a home wrecker. I kind of wanted to laugh.

He says your girlfriends mad and I should just leave you alone.

I wonder if you told him what you told me on the phone.

You love me, but I guess we're the only ones that know.

You're hurting me, but I'm the only one that knows.

I'm lifting you up as you're letting me down and still I can't let you go.
