Let Him Go
I felt him, slip through my fingers
I watched the light, as it crept from his eyes
The warmth of his skin, receded
He left me when I needed him
Why am I still crying?
He hurt me, before he left
Took a knife, cut through my heart
Then smiled
I don’t know, what went wrong
I don’t know what went on
But now I’m sitting here crying
Just let him go, they all say
Easy for them to do, cos they didn’t know him the way
I did
Just let him go
Just let him go
Chanting behind me, why won’t they leave me
Just leave me alone, cos I can’t let him go...
Cos I can’t let him go
Just walk away, look at your hands
They shiver and quiver as you cry
Clammy and damp
“Just let him go... You’ll feel so much better inside!”
No point in trying to hide, I can’t smile inside
I can’t smile outside...
Just let him go, they say, just let him go
Easy for you to do, cos you didn’t know him the way
I did
Just let him go
Just let him go
Chanting behind me, why won’t you leave me
Just leave me alone, cos I can’t let him go
Just let him go, just let him go
I tried to take a step away from him, away from his grave
But something holds me fast!
I thought I’d cried enough but I’m still spouting water
And I’m crying... night after night
So tell me how do I let him go...
Easy for you to do, I don’t know what to do
Cos I love him!
Just let him go
I can’t seem to let him go
Chanting around me, why won’t they leave me
Why won’t he leave me alone, cos I can’t let him go
Yeah, I can’t let him go...
