I Let You Go
What was I thinking?
I let you go.
I wasn't drinking, still
I let you go.
Where was my head at, to
Let you go?
I can't accept that I just
Let you go.
I wish I could make
Amends,
So we could at least
Be friends,
I have no real
Reason why,
I let you say goodbye.
Did I confuse you, when
I let you go?
Such a fool, to have
Let you go,
You were so precious, still
I let you go,
Worth more than jewels, still
I let you go.
I wish we could start again,
I'd be quite a different man,
I've learned quite a lot
Since then,
I know how to keep a friend.
We could meet up in the
Centre of town,
And I'd explain my motivations,
About how I came
To let you down,
And all those other
Explications and complications.
I'm not asking for
Romance,
Just give me half
A chance,
Cos I got a real
Good heart,
So how 'bout
A brand new start?
What was I thinking?
I let you go.
I wasn't drinking, still
I let you go.
Where was my head at,
To let you go?
I can't accept
That I just let you go.
