Let Me Go

(guitar intro)

The moonlight shining on your face
takes me to a brighter place
One where we would sit underneath the stars

But now I wonder where you go
when you're lookin' out your cold window
Are you missing her?
Is she wonderin' where you are?

I've seen red and I've been blue
but I know what you really wanna do
So pack your bags and head right for the door

I can't take these games we play
(you never really loved me anyway)
and my broken heart
won't stay around for more

(c)
I've been crying crying to myself
and not feeling so strong
Am I just lying lying to myself
wishing for much more

You love her
and he loves me
That's the just the way it's gonna be
so let me go, or let it be

Then I saw you yesterday
I didn't know what to do or say
When I saw you walkin' through the park
You never held my hand so tight
or kissed me in the broad daylight
Now I realize we would never get that far

Years will pass and we will fade
in another's arms we'll find our faith
But you can't erase the pain that we both know
If I could do it all again
I'd walk away before the end
so I wouldn't have to stay around...
anymore

(C)
Cause I've been crying, crying to myself
and not feeling so strong
And I've been lying, lying to myself
knowing it's so wrong

You love her and he loves me
and that's just the way it's gonna be
so let me go, or let it be

You love her and he loves me
and that was the way it was meant to be
so let me go...
and let it be

Transcendental Lullaby

The door was opening
But I couldn’t see your face
I contemplated for one moment –
Felt so out of place
And then you sang to me
Your transcendental lullaby
But now you’re leaving me
And I will not ask you why

Matters of the heart
Are complicated and too deep
Why would I give to you forever
Something false and incomplete
And when you sang to me
Your transcendental lullaby
I felt you lift me up
But my wings will never fly

The room turned darker soon
And everything looked so unclear
You ran from what I couldn’t give you
Your mind relied too much on fear
I tried to sing to you
Our transcendental lullaby
But with no voice to give
You had to say goodbye

The door closed long ago
While I was standing in the rain
I wandered through a maze of shadows
Fell to my knees and asked for grace
I heard your song again
Some transcendental lullaby
But I walked on my love
And I never saw you cry

How My Heart Can Bleed

                        The shadows pull me closer
                        to the emptiness I feel
                        when you're around
                        you don't see me or hear me
                        I'm breathing thoughts
                        into your mind
                        imprisoned by your shallow soul
                        and want...to be set free

                        But you forgot to love me
                        You forgot to show me
                        (what was behind your steel walls)
                        they are rising higher
                        and I have no more ways to show you how.....
                        How my heart can bleed

                        Lost, and so alone
                        I cry out begging for you to feel me
                        when you're near but you ignore me
                        look past my eyes
                        You take my needs away from me
                        and crush the strength that heals me
                        and I want...to be set free

                        But you forgot to know me
                        You forgot to cherish what was given
                        (to your empty heart)
                        You never opened up
                        and I have no more ways
                        to show you how...
                        How my heart can bleed

                        I feel the pain
                        (growing inside)
                        Push you away
                        (I have to hide)
                        You can't be
                        (the one for me)
                        I have to leave...

                        It hurts to stay
                        (goodbye to you)
                        I cannot play
                        (such twisted games)
                        My soul must be set free...

                        Now I feel
                        a stronger part of me
                        that takes this burden
                        and destroys all that you gave me
                        (nothing at all)
                        Listen as I walk away
                        and cry out in the loudest voice -
                        I cannot find you...

                        You forgot to hold me
                        You forgot to taste my sorrow
                        (carry me through)
                        storms and darkness find you
                        but I had no more ways
                        to show you how...

                        How my heart could bleed
