The Chance To Let Go Pains Part 2

You’re such a great person but I accuse you of everything when
you do your best to please me
You’re the perfect person and in return I give you a million reasons
to leave me

But you don’t, you stay right by my side through all the good
times and bad  
Even when I’m sad you give me the perfect reason to be
glad

I had the chance to let go pains but I couldn’t let you
in
I couldn’t give you my heart, I just couldn’t let you
win

I couldn’t love someone who loves me I had to endure 
pain
I didn’t want anyone to be there to hold me tight like
you did in the rain

I couldn’t kiss you passionately because I had no feelings
for someone as perfect as you
I couldn’t let my heart be at ease because I’d probably hurt
a person as perfect as you

I did hurt you by pushing you so very far away and today
I wish you could hear my cry every-time I said your name

Now your gone and how I wish you would come back and
forgive me
I’ve matured over the years, got hurt again and I’m tired of
the same scene 

I want to relive those helpless nights you held me in your 
arms and said “IT’S OK!”
I want you to hold me tight in the sun shine and on my cloudy
days

Please! Come back to me love I’m begging you to
listen
Loud and clear the “chance to let go pains” was there but I was death 
and the only thing I heard was a whisper
