Letting Go

from Love & Regret by The Tradeoffs

/

lyrics

Can you hear my heart racing?
Embracing each second now before the crash
Cuz you see my mind’s pacing
Saying, “You can’t make this last more than a moment
You’ve tried, you’ve failed before, so let go”

Can you feel my pulse beating?
Seeing how I had settled for much less
But I’ve long since stopped breathing
Needing to run and hide from the mess I leave behind me
It happens every time

There is no doubt in my mind
You can fill what’s long been emptied
It’s my own heart I’m not sure that I know
I’ve waited for all of this time
Just to be where you could take me
But I’m afraid that I might let you go

Can you see these walls breaking?
You’re making a brand new man in who you are
But my hands still are shaking
Faking this confidence to hide these scars I’ve self inflicted
I swear the problem's me


… But I’m afraid that I might let you go,
And bring the end
To this love, I can’t defend
So I must know, will you catch me when I fall again?


Cuz there is no doubt in my mind
You can fill what’s long been emptied
But right now I just need your strength to show
I’ve waited for all of this time
Just to be where you could take me
My only hope is you wont let me go
Our only chance is you wont let me go
