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.
