If I Could Let You Go

I still know the way you say my name

Like nothing ever changed

I still reach across the bed sometimes

Then remember you're not mine Your picture's still beside my phone I

tell myself I'm better alone But every night when the lights go

low

I miss the person I used to know

And I wish I could be angry

Wish I had somebody to blame

But all I have are memories

And a heart that won't obey

If I could let you go

I wouldn't feel this empty

If I could hate you

Maybe you'd stop haunting me

I'd tear apart the memories And tell myself they're lies But I

still love you

Even when I close my eyes If I could let you go

Maybe I'd finally breathe But every part of me

Still wants you here with me

(ooh) I deleted every message that you sent

But I remember every word you meant

I changed the songs we used to play

Still somehow hear you anyway I tell my friends that I'm okay

Then fall apart when they walk away It's funny how a heart

can break

Without making a sound when it gives way

And I wish I could forget you

Wish your touch meant nothing now

But the hardest thing about losing you Is I don't know how

to stop loving you somehow

Maybe someday I'll wake up

And your name won't hurt Maybe I'll hear our favorite song

And it won't make things worse

Maybe someday I'll forgive you

Maybe I'll forgive myself

For holding onto something That was never meant to last

If I could let you go I swear I'd finally be free

If I could hate you

You'd mean nothing to me

But I can't erase the nights Or the way you looked at

me

So I'll carry what we were Until it doesn't hurt to breathe

If I could let you go

Maybe someday I will

But tonight I still love you And I probably always will So

I won't hate you...

Even if it would be easier.

I'll just learn to live

With loving you from here.
