Letting You Go

you probably dont remember me
but oh, i remember you
every single word you said
what you put me through.

i gave you trust, lent you my heart
thats how you dragged me down so low
i broke every time, within myself
after every sting and blow.

how i made it through it all,
i havent the faintest clue
but what i know for sure, for real
is youve left me black and blue.

my trust is broken now
every word was a lie
those words that came from your mouth
matching every hit in stride.

now every time i hear your name
a chill runs down my spine
too many times did you break me down
i wince when you say "you're mine."

so now what am i left to do
but sit in this gutter and cry
ive tried so hard to lift myself up
but you'll always bash me down, or try

but now, you see, i've seen a light
kind words from a good friend
he asked me if i was willing to try
to put this pain to an end.

its hard, i know, ive failed so much
to push you away from me
because every time i think of you
i'm smothered by my vulnerability.

so i hope your happy
with the handi-work you've done
i hope you enjoyed breaking me
hope you've had your fun.

use me
abuse me
break me
take me

you've killed me once
though, i'll cry no more.
