Trying to Let You Go (feat. Ashley B Pedigo)

If I would have told you a thousand Times a day just how beautiful you are Would you have been able to understand It's not just some wish on you like a star I gave my best, but it never sent It only gave you something to contend I tried to love you, but I couldn't I'd rather let you go than pretend The winter fell in love with spring When flowers came the thaw revealed The broken limb of a small offering The winter from your warmth recoiled With grass that will never grow I'm just trying to let you go You only said love when we made it I would almost say it without thinking Moving on doesn't make me a hypocrite But like a child into you I was sinking When it comes to love you were the closest Then the sweetness you tasted aged sour I gave my all if you cared to notice Spring tried so hard to scrape up a flower The spring fell in love with winter Autumn blessed us with golden shade Now your wind became too bitter You've killed even what love we made While you're out plowing snow I'm just trying to let you go The things I wish I could say I'm afraid they would hurt you So I'll refrain for another day Instead I'll say nothing that's new Another man got my woman The weary blues got me Maybe he as no need to summon The man that I could never be I wish you would have gotten better Instead of hiding yourself in him I suppose I've got nothing to offer the best I've done is making you dim Even now I struggle to allow I'm still trying let you go You shouldn't be afraid to hurt me I've been hurt in worse ways before Please don't take yourself so seriously As you left you should've left bricks in door Know that people move in different ways I'm really doing the best that I can I'm thankful to find a man who stays This need in me you can't understand I'm human like you after all is said and done I don't need these things you want for A battle that's hard fought and then won I need one who takes me not one I adore I say I don't need you though I'm still trying to let you go
