letting you go/letting me stay
it was crimson night
with autumn leaves
set in winter's pale perfection
i felt the droplets
of the melting snow
and i mixed my emotion
with your quick miracle change
this winter would turn to fall
you'd do that for me
to prove to me you love
we could have held one night together
under a canopy of lights
but i don't want to be here with you
you've said every word in my heart
backwards, tangled and meant as a cliche
this was what we wanted
but now, i want to let you go
it was crimson night
the only one we held together
and i watched the snow melt
leaving me cold and dripped on
but stronger
wiser
instead of living with what you
need me to love
i'm dropping you
like the summer
and letting it all go
