I know what I have to do
But I just can’t let go of you
All the memories we share
But you just didn’t care
I tried to see you so hard
But you kept cutting my heart with a sword

I’m letting you go
My heart is already taking a hard blow
Thinking about life without you
Is just so hard to do
But I know I have to let you go
And I’ll get through it I know

I thought our love could make it
But now we spilt
And I’m left to cry
Waiting for you to try
But I was blind
And I was too kind
That I couldn’t see the signs

Break up is hard and I just recently went through a tough break up. This piece has the raw emotions of what I feel now that she is gone.
