Let Her Go

You say you want me to notice the motives

That are forming inside your head

I try to go through the motions

To show you deep down inside I'm not dead

Look at your face and I forget your name

I feel her ghost in every breath you take

Will I ever love you that way

When you say...?

If I want it, I should take it

If you move me, I could shake it

And I'm trying hard to fake it

But I can't let her go

Taking love from you to waste it

Take your heart in just to break it

And I'm trying hard to fake it

But I can't let her go, go, go

Try to feel pain when you hurt

Just like I used to feel when she hurt back then

I know it's not fair you deserve

To be cared for and all I can do is pretend

I hear her voice in every word you say

I feel her ghost in every breath you take

Will I ever love you that way

When you say...?

If I want it, I should take it

If you move me, I could shake it

And I'm trying hard to fake it

But I can't let her go

Taking love from you to waste it

Take your heart in just to break it

And I'm trying hard to fake it

But I can't let her go, go, go

Look at your face and I forget your name

I know it's not fair and with every breath

I feel a burning shame

When I can't let her go, go, go
