Let Go

I had to learn to let go
I had to understand how to move on
Needed her to leave 
In order for me to be free 

Times when I’m alone 
I just wanna text her 
And start all over again 
But clean slates don’t exist 

I made boundaries for me to heal 
But I keep breaking them down 
Can’t focus on myself if I’m 
Trying to fix what happened with us 

It’s best to leave in peace
Instead of staying in anger 
I made my mistakes, now 
I gotta be held accountable 

If I add you back
Please block me 
If I try to talk to you
Please just ignore me 

It’s the hardest lessons 
That makes us stronger
