Let Go

I had to let her go It was beyond my control I wanted to keep her I guess for my own selfish reasons Sometimes I want to press rewind I should've made her mine But now I'm a father I have responsibilities I have a daughter I couldn't give her what she needed I couldn't give her what she deserved, Even though she never pleaded. When I met her she was so full of energy But over time, I realized I was no good for her I changed her... He changed me Before him I was full of life He awakened other things in me Doubt, insecurity, jealousy Those just aren't me But I loved him He was all that I knew So I thought loving him was something I had to do He hurt me plenty I forgave him many But it still didn't work So I had to let him go Again I said I had to let her go It aches knowing she will end up with someone who isn't me I've made this decision I've made my own prison She gave me life She gave me energy But now I see I took that from her I left her empty But ironically, to this day, she still holds a piece of me He still holds a piece of me Even though God has made me whole again He holds a piece that no other guy can ever get It contains our happy times Video games, late nights Good times But something he won't have is me Who I am now The woman I'm meant to be Yes, he changed me Because with him, I lost myself Now I'm found All the pain, confusion, lies It's all worth it I hope it's worth it I hope my daughter grows up right because I stayed I hope I can find a happiness like her in my daughter's mom I'm trying But sometimes I feel like I'm lying Because my daughter's mom will never be like her I can't expect her to be I wish the woman of my dreams the best I missed out I missed out... He missed out But thanks to him letting me go I am ready for the man of my dreams. Strong, stable, steady And don't forget funny And last but not least... Someone who will never give up on me.
