Let me go by Isobel Anderson


I want you, more than you'll ever know.
And I can't see an end  'cause this began so long ago.
I'm a woman but with you I'm just a child.
I put on a brave face, I just shrug and smile.

So much has changed since the last time we met,
But it doesn't matter where I am or what I'm doing,
I can't forget, I want to forget.

You're vague, you never give that much away.
But there's a warmth between us, which means that I can't walk away.
I want to hold you and tell you all the things I feel,
But I know that you won't say what I want to hear, I know this isn't real.

You say you want to be friends and that you want to keep in touch,
Oh but I'm sorry boy, to me that doesn't sound like much.
And I just wish I could be what you're waiting for,
Although you said you wanted me once upon a time before.

And I'm just so scared of how far I might go,
I can't trust myself to just let go,
I want to let go, please help me let go.

But it's morning and summer's just about to start.
I know there's someone out there who'd be glad to have my heart.
