Let Me Go

Well, you took advantage of me

Yeah, you never let me go free

Devour me whole if you can, if you can

I’m in the Arizona sun, trying to get a tan



Made over a thousand poems

They are each my unique gems

You’re amazing…you’re amazing…

I am star-gazing…and I’m eye-gazing…



Superficial shame embraced me…free me…

Artificial happiness cuts me open

Set me free and let me be…me…leave me be…

You always step all over me again



You took me higher than the clouds above

Darling love, you know exactly what I think of

Yeah, you never let me go truly free

Because you took advantage of me
