(Don't) Let Me Go

I don’t think you realize

I really don’t mean it

When I push you away what I really want

Is for you to come closer

I want you to hold me and

Tell me that it’s okay

Even if you don’t mean it

A beautiful lie is more appealing than the

Ugly truth

But I’m sure you already know that

So before you tell me I need to stop

Take it in

I’m so close to letting you go because I

Don’t want you to see

I’m getting too attached even though I know that

Despite what we say

You won’t be here forever

I don’t want to, but I don’t know how to stop

I’m terrified of being

Alone

Yet the idea of a relationship

Scares me more because it

Means I might hurt someone I love

So instead of taking that risk I’m

Saying goodbye

Right now, it might seem

Like you’re losing the world but you’ll

Cry only a few times

I’m sure you’ll be over me within a

Week without a problem

Pain isn’t something you should concern

Yourself with

Trust me, I’ll disappear completely I’m

Sure you don’t need me

So before you tighten your grip

Let me go
