Lucy Spraggan - Let Go

I grab your hand you let go
You shake your head and say 'no'
I feel my voice collapse with my hopes
You turn your back and time slows oh

You leave the bar
I leave my drink and my coat where they are
And follow you on to the street
You turn around look at the ground
And say ‘don’t follow when I leave’
Okay

You said ‘you love me’ oh
That I could trust you oh
You’d never leave me oh
After all we got through oh
I took my chances oh
Strayed all my bounders oh
But you don’t need me oh
Better off without me oh

I chase the rain down the window
You’re all I see wherever I go
You’re all I see even with my eyes closed

Hidden memories in magazines enclosed in photos at home
You’re in my sleep, in my day-dreams, in a crowded street or on my own
While I can’t eat I bet you sleep with someone’s heat against your bones
But

You said ‘you love me’ oh
That I could trust you oh
You’d never leave me oh
After all we got through oh
I took my chances oh
Strayed all my bounders oh
But you don’t need me oh
Better off without me oh

I don’t see you for some time
Yet, every day you’re still in my mind
I’m moving forward no longer the tortured by the person that you ar-r-r-re-e
I met someone new, yes, they’re not you, but I still wonder how you are

I lie in bed and smile at my life
Glad I saw sense in the bright lights
It’s dark outside, I go down stairs, look at the door there’s someone there
I hear a knock and my heart drops, I’d recognize it anywhere
I open the door, I see your face, there’s a pause, and then you say
‘Babe

I said ‘I loved you’ oh
That you could trust me oh
I’d never leave you oh
If things were ugly oh
I took my chances oh
I strayed all your bounders oh
But I still need you oh
I’m nothing without you oh
You grab my hand I let go, oh
