You Let Me Go

I wont sit and be angry because you gave up
Or because you decided to give up on love
'Cause one day you'll need it and I won't be there
Not because I don't love you or because I don't care
But simply the fact that I'm no longer strong
I can't sit here and wait for a love that is gone

There isn't one day that you don't cross my mind
But your face is lost in a past full of lies
You said that you'd be there when push came to shove
But you gave up out of weakness when I needed love
There will be a time soon when you need my hand
But by then it will be holding some other man's 
And that's when you'll realize what you have lost
And see my loves free- it never would cost

And yes my pasts dark but if you do ever meet
A girl that doesn't have a past dark, like me
Remember she may not appreciate love
She may not be there when push comes to shove
She'll leave you too when times get rough
There's another one out there when you're not enough
You'll be searching for me in everyone you meet
Because my soul is one thing that can never be beat

The most torn apart people are the ones who love most
They dont need to compare, lie, decieve or boast
We appreciate things that come deep from the heart
Because we know what it's like to have ours torn apart

You know I gave you all that I had
My time, love and patience no matter how bad
You caused me more pain then I ever have felt
But please don't pity the cards I've been dealt
I know one day you will miss me
But I won't be there to hear you disagree
