Let You Go

A man lamenting about how happy he could've made a girl feel if only she'd have not ignored him. It is in the form of a song, meant for a rock band of some sort. The tune is in my head.

Milky white

Soothing light

Shines upon my face tonight.

Your spirit is in the air

And its light is so fair.

 

I walk there

A duck in the road

Hoping a swan will come and say “hello”

And although I shriek and strive through the pain

Passive and deaf you seem to remain.

 

I could love you like another part of me

I could kiss you when you’re broken and cold.

I could love you, I could set you free.

Still, I know, I have to let you go.

 

You wander in;

My thoughts explode.

Fear overtakes me and I hide alone.

Your beauty: unquestionable, your intentions: plain.

I don’t wanna scare you. No, not again.

Yet,

 

I could love you like another part of me.

I could kiss you when you’re broken and cold.

I could love you. I could set you free.

Oh, babe, I don’t wanna let you go.

 

Didn’t mean to overwhelm you.

It doesn’t mean my intentions are wrong.

If only you would just behold

The wonderments that may unfold

But I’ve already been trying for so long.

 

-Guitar Solo-

I could love you like another part of me.

I could kiss you when you’re broken and cold.

I could love you, I could set you free.

I will never, never, ever, let you go.

 

Main:                               Echo:

I could love you like another part of me.   (Your spirit is in the air, and it’s light is so fair)

I could kiss you when you’re broken and cold.  (In your sight, I freak out and hide)

I could love you, I could set you free. (Never meant to overwhelm or give you a scare)

But I know, I’ve gotta let you go. (You are leaving, I have no say, no way, no place to go.)

 

You left me in limbo and never came back.

After several months I’ve gotten back on track.

So, now, I know, I’ve gotta let you go.

Yeah.

I tried to love you; to show I was here

And you ran off quicker than Paul Revere

It’s time, I think, to finally let you go.

It’s time, I think, to finally let you go. 

Author's Note

The difficult rhythms at the beginning symbolize the man's difficulty with grasping the concept of letting go of his love. However, as the song progresses, the rhythms become much more fluid and the man breaks through his obsession. Also, I don't care about grammar issues. I suck when it comes to poetic grammar. I also understand that the word choice is somewhat simple. This is meant to portray the feeble minds of teens in dramatic situations. Perhaps it isn't the best way to portray this, but it is the way I chose to do it.

This is amazingg. Good work John.

[The Dudeman (Kenneth T)]

Nice job. It helps that I know exactly what it's about. Very good, original lyrics. It actually sounds like a song I'd wanna listen to.
