Let Go

[Hook: Joe Gates] You make it hard for me to breathe Drowning in your misery Trying to save you But I can’t save you from yourself So I’ve gotta let go I’ma sever the tie, I’ma give you to God This time I gotta let go Stop living the lie, I’ma give you to God, Give you to God [Verse 1] The sound of a heartbeat echoes in an empty room Went from kissing you, to missing you, to wondering what I really meant to you All the time I spent with you, nothin’ but a waste Started off cause I love the chase Ended up in pain, stuck up in rain No umbrella, go against the grain Through the tears trying to stay in my lane Now I see what they said was true Can’t figure out where I’m headed to Should’ve never messed with you, traded the best of who I am for whatever was left of you After the hurt, went through the stress Thought it could work, so I took the test Can’t sleep for weeks, needed some rest Now I got this feeling in my chest Can’t catch my breath [Hook] [Verse 2] Tears fall down from an empty heart Tried so hard just to fix the parts Of the puzzle piece, that we need to start But Im in need of God because I missed the mark And I missed the smiles, missed the times That we had at first, when it was feelin right But you were hurt, from a different guy So all I got was fights, and all I ever really heard was lies And I got sick of it, one cold night full of misery Realized I couldn’t live with it, but it was way too late for me to just forget So I bit my lip, and tried To bite my tongue Never thought I’d ever have to fight for love But you and me, weren’t right for love I needed somebody I could trust And spend time with til’ life is up But survival’s tough, and the hardest thing For me was to just let it be, let her leave And realize it ain’t up to me, no children, no wedding ring So I hit my knees, praying to God That he got her through her times that’s hard And she made it through all her battle scars Because I’m better off now that were not involved [Hook]
