Let Me Go - Anna Akana

We’re not on the rocks

We’re on the fucking edge of a cliff

And I’m not gonna lie, sometimes when we talk

It’s like trying to read hieroglyphs

I’m tired of screaming and crying

Caught in the throes of this storm

The lines on your face look worn

How did we get so torn?

«Are you happy?»

you ask

And I know what you’re asking is if we should call it quits

I don’t have the answers at all

And all I know what to say in response is

I don’t want to give up on this

But don’t you let me go

Don’t you let me go

I got drunk again, didn’t I?

Fuck, you’re mad and I don’t know why

What did I say or do wrong this time?

Was I so out of the line you can’t leave it behind?

No, you’re right I’m sorry, fuck, can we start over?

Do it again when I’m sober?

Take it slower?

Here, baby come closer

No, don’t walk away, stay, I won’t get angry again, hey

I don’t deserve to be treated this way

A couple of drinks after a shit day is normal

Yeah I got sloppy, who cares

Maybe I’d drink less if you were there, it’s not fair

Even when you’re here you’re somewhere else

I’m just looking for help

Cause even with you I feel like I’m all by myself

But don’t you let me go

Don’t you let me go

Cause I’m not ready to lose what we have baby at all, oh

Don’t you let me go

Changed your mind on a dime

Thought you said you would actually try

Gave up and ran off without a goodbye

Merry Christmas, have a nice life

No, we can’t ever be friends

I thought you were my fucking person

Don’t tell me how much it hurts you to break me

This whole time you’ve been faking

Said when we got real you won’t leave

You’d stand by me, didn’t wanna be

A coward like your dad

But you should envy your old man

He fears the world cause he loves what he has

You’re so afraid of love it doesn’t stand a chance

But don’t you let me go

Don’t you let me go

Cause I’m not ready to lose what we have baby at all, oh

Don’t you let me go
