Stay… or you have to go

You came to me with a pure heart,
I was scared, too beautiful was what I felt.
My heart whispered softly: “Stay here with me,”
But my mind played games, saying I need no one.

You ran away from me, so far,
Though in you was my peace, my life.
I looked for reasons not to have to love you,
Yet every single touch of yours stayed inside me completely.

⸻

PRE-CHORUS

Why do I always choose the things that hurt?
Why do I run from what’s waiting for me?
I was there, honest, pure…
And I clung to what in the past was never mine.

⸻

CHORUS

I let you go from me, though you belong with me,
You lied to me, and you lie to yourself somewhere too.
Now you see what you lost, you understand too late,
Happiness stood before you, and you turned your back for good.

I let you go from me…
Yet somewhere inside me, you’ll always remain.

⸻

VERSE 2

You tried to forget in someone else’s arms,
But every touch of mine called you back again.
My soul was completely with you,
And you played with me.

So often we choose what’s easy,
Instead of what’s pure, what’s truly worthy.
Even though the old story stayed with me,
With you, the breath of life would have been real.

⸻

PRE-CHORUS

Why do we hurt the ones who dare to love?
Why do we fear the ones we truly need?
Why does the heart run when it finally reaches the right place?
Why does truth hurt when it finally speaks honestly?

⸻

CHORUS

I let you go from me, though you belong with me,
You lied to me, and you lie to yourself somewhere too.
Now you see what you lost, you understand too late,
Happiness stood before you, and you turned your back for good.

I let you go from me…
Yet somewhere inside me, you’ll always remain.

⸻

BRIDGE

Maybe in another life, things will be different,
I won’t fear, won’t hide, won’t break the silence.
I’ll take your hand, I won’t let go,
Because I know you’re the one I’m meant to live beside.

⸻

FINAL CHORUS

I let you go from me, though you belong with me,
Your absence calls to me in every passing moment.
I know what you lost, you’ll understand it too late,
And though I let you go, my heart lifts back to you.

I let you go from me…
But my soul still loves you.
