I Must Let Go

I kept falling deeper for you but not in the good sense I fell into a black hole and I didn't even get to repent I keep trying to live up to your standards but tonight I have other plans for my life I'm through with the strife I don't know why it took so long for me to finally let go Maybe it's because you felt so right but something so right can be cancerous I'm officially wearing the pants in this situation and I wash my hands with you and this damn anticipation we never even had relations but your voice echoed in my brain like a radio transmission I am in remission fighting these god forsaken feelings that I have for you I wish I could go back to the days when I was nobody's fool but to go back would mean to never feel I don't regret the day I met you I just need these wounds to heal to maintain my sanity all thoughts of you I must seal. Maybe through this sealed jar my jagged heart might once again feel
