I Must Let Go of You

I don’t need your money or your Cadillac Seville.

I need a man who can take care of me like Jack took care of Jill.

I need your friendship, understanding, respect and support.

Oh and a little bit of love would stop the divorce.

So many days go by and I feel like my heart is going to burst,

My eyes overflow with tears and my knees feel reversed!

All day long I fight with all my might to hold back the tears,

By the end of the day, when I turn my key to step inside

Tears flow like a river.

He says I will, and you said I do

Only thing, you failed to follow through,

Today, I must let go of you.

You say you wonder what punishment God has in store

For you breaking my heart;

Well as painful as it is,

I pray that He will protect and guide you,

One day show you true love and happiness.

I pray that you will let down your guard and love completely

And allow yourself to be loved.

I’d like to think we both gave it our best

And it just wasn’t good enough and that’s ok.

You failed to follow through,

Today I must let go of you.
