Let You Go

[INT]
(let you go…)
(addicted…)

[V1]
I let you walk like I don’t feel it
Smile like I’m fine with the truth
You tell me someone else asked you
Like I ain’t the one holding you
Stayed the night skin on skin
Same old spark same old lie
You say you’re free say it’s nothing
But I see it in your eyes

[PC]
I play it cool say go have fun
Like my heart don’t split in two
I don’t wanna cage your freedom
I just wish you chose me too

[CH]
If loving you means letting go
Then why the hell does it feel like this
I set you free but I stay broke
Yeah I’m addicted to your kiss
I tell you go I tell you try
Tell myself I’ll be okay
But every time you leave my side
I’m dying slow yeah
I love you enough to let you go
But I hate myself for staying

[V2]
I know there’s dinners and fake laughs
Red wine hands you don’t trust
They don’t know your demons
They don’t love you when it’s rough
I forgive like it’s a sickness
I give chances like air
I keep thinking one day you’ll wake up
And realize I was always there

[PC2]
I don’t beg I don’t chase
I don’t tell you what to do
But every maybe that you give me
Cuts deeper than the truth

[CH2]
If loving you means letting go
Then why the hell does it feel like this
I set you free but I stay broke
Yeah I’m addicted to your kiss
I tell you go I tell you try
Tell myself I’ll be okay
But every time you leave my side
I’m dying slow yeah
I love you enough to let you go
But I hate myself for staying

[BR]
I ain’t scared of being alone
I’m scared of losing you
I ain’t mad you’re seeing someone
I’m mad I’m still choosing you
They’ll let you down they always do
I know that sounds insane
But loving you’s a drug to me
And I don’t wanna be clean

[CH3]
If loving you means letting go
Then why you still my everything
I play it strong I play it cold
But baby you still own me
I tell you go I tell you live
While I drown in what we were
I love you more than I love myself
And that’s the part that hurts
I love you enough to let you go
But I’m addicted to the pain
