Let Me Cry - ZaNaMusic
I stayed when you went cold
I smiled when I was breaking
I texted when you went silent
You answered without feeling
I slept beside a stranger
with tears beneath my eyes
I kept loving the memory
of who you were that night
Then you looked into my eyes
and said what I fear most
I don't love you anymore
and everything went quiet
I folded up your old shirt
I packed our photographs
I put our love in a box
I couldn't throw away
I wanted to scream your name
I wanted you to stay
but I only whispered softly go
before I lose myself
So let me cry
one last cry for you
Let me break
for everything we knew
Let these tears fall
like rain through the night
You took our forever
but you won't take my life
Let me cry
one last cry tonight
Then I'll wake up
and learn to live without you
So let me cry
one last cry for you
Let me mourn
the woman I once knew
She gave you her heart
She gave you her years
She disappeared slowly
behind all those tears
So let me cry
one last cry tonight
Tomorrow I'll leave your shadow behind
You were my love
you were my pain
but I won't lose myself
trying to love you again
Morning came quietly
my eyes were still red
but something inside me
was finally not dead
I cried for you
I cried for us
Then I cried for me
one last cry
Then I let you go
and for the first time
I chose myself
