If I Set You Free

I released your hand, and let you fly Hoping you'd return, with a loving sigh But the winds of freedom, swept you away Leaving me with tears, and a heart that's gray I set you free, with a love so true But you didn't come back, and I don't know what to do The silence is deafening, the emptiness a pain Longing for your touch, but you're gone, and I remain If you love someone, set them free But what if they don't return, and I'm left to grieve? What if the freedom, I gave with an open heart Becomes the very thing, that tears us apart? I'll hold on to memories, of the love we shared But the ache within me, will forever be spared For I set you free, with a love so pure and bright But you didn't come back, and now I'm left to face the night.
