What is wrong with me?
Why have I chosen this man?
I sit here pouring my heart out,
Crying with my face in my hand,
Let it go.

The pain I feel cannot be,
No pain this bad can be real,
I pour my heart out to him,
But he worsens how I feel,
Let it go.

I try to ignore it as best I can,
I try to hide it in the passed,
It isn’t working out too great,
The ignorance can only last,
Let it go.

I feel stuck inside a locked box,
The passing won’t set me free,
They see me struggle and watch,
The air is running out I can’t breathe,
Let it go.

My breath is running short now,
I see the lid come crashing down,
What are they standing around me for?
They lower this box into the ground,
Let it go.

I watch my life fall to pieces,
The coffin is finally lowered now,
Is this what my life looks like?
This must be resolved but how?
Let it go.

I can’t live like this for one more day,
I can’t live with such remorse & pain,
It makes this life too hard to live,
I must get out and unlock this chain,
So let it go…
