Let You Go Lyrics

Sometimes we go down the wrong path

Most find the way back

But right path has a lack of luster to it

Something you don't like and you just don't trust it

The shiny and the million

The shiny and the gold

It's worth more than any kinda righteous logic to ya

Do ya?

Understand what you're doing to us

what you're doing to you

What about your late mother?

Gave her whole life

So you'd be something

Something more than your father

Something more than your friends

Take every dime off you

For the extra ten cents

Not any kinda loyalty

No love lost there

But oh my heart

Is breaking

Every time I see you

I knew you

From the way back

But I don't know you now

Whatever past life Is gone

and

I gotta Let you go

Oh oh oh

Let you go

Oh oh oh

Let you go

Cuz you're not who you were now

Not sure you were then

I put you on a pedestal

Thought you deserved a medal so

I believed everything you said

Wanted to be worth it

Worth the dollars

worth the pace

worth the secrets

I could taste

the trust you would give me

But now you're laid up in rehab

Sleeping off the heroin

Coursing in your veins

While I lay in my bed

Wondering what went wrong

How'd it go so wrong

And your father won't stop by

Laid up in his section 8 housing

Wondering the same things too

I assume

I barely ever met the guy

we're all worried about you

But we've got other things too

Like how long grandma's gonna keep strong

She ain't got long

it'll be a funeral soon

And if rehab goes as well as the last time

we can make it a double one too

But oh my heart

Is breaking

Every time I see you

I knew you

From the way back

But I don't know you now

Whatever past life Is gone

and I gotta Let you go

Oh oh oh

Let you go

Oh oh oh

Let you go

It's killing me to see you

Like this again

It's killing me to see you go

But you're not coming back

Anytime soon

So I gotta let you go
