LETTING YOU GO (featuring Brooks Long)
(Janice B./Maurice Carroll)  

There's something I need to tell you
not sure where I should begin
this fear has held me captive
in this game I'll never win
You know that from the very start
you were the world to me
so much of me I left behind 
cuz you were all that I could see
but now I can see the fire that once was in your eyes is gone
I guess it's time to realize I got to carry on...

I held on believing that things would change
I held on when others said I was insane
I tried to be cool and let you run free
but still you made a fool out of me
I held on believing it's the right thing to do
I held on cuz this love was all that I knew
I held on for hopes and for all our lost dreams
but I'm letting you go for me.  

You promised me forever
I promised you the same
but a promise ain't for keeping 
if you ain't gonna change
it seems no matter what I do 
it's never been enough
and now that all these tears have dried
I realize this isn't love
and though I might be afraid of living all alone
I'm more afraid to live a lie pretending not to know

I held on believing that things would change
I held on when others said I was insane
I tried to be cool and let you run free
but still you made a fool out of me
I held on believing it's the right thing to do
I held on cuz this love was all that I knew
I held on for hopes and for all our lost dreams
but I'm letting you go for me.  

Maybe you'll laugh at my sudden pride
Maybe you'll cry or just hold it inside
I ain't blaming you boy that's not what I'm saying
but you can't win the game if you're the only one playing


I held on believing that things would change
I held on when others said I was insane
I tried to be cool and let you run free
but still you made a fool out of me
I held on believing it's the right thing to do
I held on cuz this love was all that I knew
I held on for hopes and for all our lost dreams
but I'm letting you go for me.
