Lucy Spraggan Let Go
I grab your hand you let go,
You shake your head and say 'no',
I feel my voice collapse with my hopes,
You turn your back and time slows oh,
You leave the bar,
I leave my drink and my coat where they are,
And follow you on to the street,
You turn around look at the ground,
And say ‘don’t follow when I leave’,
Okay…
You said ‘you love me’ oh,
That I could trust you oh,
You’d never leave me oh,
After all we got through oh,
I took my chances oh,
Strayed all my bounders oh,
But you don’t need me oh,
Better off without me oh,
I chase the rain down the window,
You’re all I see wherever I go,
You’re all I see even with my eyes closed,
Hidden memories in magazines enclosed in photos at
home,
You’re in my sleep, in my day-dreams, in a crowded
street or on my own,
While I can’t eat I bet you sleep with someone’s heat
against your bones,
But…
You said ‘you love me’ oh,
That I could trust you oh,
You’d never leave me oh,
After all we got through oh,
I took my chances oh,
Strayed all my bounders oh,
But you don’t need me oh,
Better off without me oh,
I don’t see you for some time,
Yet, every day you’re still in my mind,
I’m moving forward no longer the tortured by the person
that you ar-r-r-re-e,
I met someone new, yes, they’re not you, but I still
wonder how you are,
I lie in bed and smile at my life,
Glad I saw sense in the bright lights,
It’s dark outside, I go down stairs, look at the door
there’s someone there,
I hear a knock and my heart drops, I’d recognise it
anywhere,
I open the door, I see your face, there’s a pause, and
then you say
‘Babe…
I said ‘I loved you’ oh,
That you could trust me oh,
I’d never leave you oh,
If things were ugly oh,
I took my chances oh,
I strayed all your bounders oh,
But I still need you oh,
I’m nothing without you oh,
You grab my hand I let go…oh
