Conspiracy Coyote - I Can Let You Go Lyrics

You paint a pretty face, but I see your pain
Hide behind a mask, but the cracks remain
You're stitching up the wounds, but the scars won't heal
Don't try to change me, when you can't feel

There was a time
When I would try to drink away the pain trapped within my mind
There was a time
When I would cry as my heart fell apart from love I couldn't find

So in this relationship I try to compromise
But please don't confuse me otherwise
I would rather be feared or despised
Than to cower to someone's disguise
I can let you go
You know
I'd rather let you go

I see the weight you carry, the burden's too much
You're reaching out to me, but I can't be your crutch
Before you try to change me, look inside
Find the strength to heal your wounds, don't hide

There was a time
When I would try to drink away the pain trapped within my mind
There was a time
When I would cry as my heart fell apart from love I couldn't find

So in this relationship I try to compromise
But please don't confuse me otherwise
I would rather be feared or despised
Than to cower to someone's disguise
I can let you go
You know
I'd rather let you go

You're drowning in your sorrow, can't you see
How can you heal me when you're incomplete
Don't try to fix what's shattered, it's too deep
You can't save me, when you're too scared to even sleep

There was a time
When I would try to drink away the pain trapped within my mind
There was a time
When I would cry as my heart fell apart from love I couldn't find

So in this relationship I try to compromise
But please don't confuse me otherwise
I would rather be feared or despised
Than to cower to someone's disguise
I can let you go
You know
I'd rather let you go

Stop mending what you can't see
You're drowning, stop trying to rescue me
Don't wanna fight, stop the masquerade
You can't fix me when your heart's still afraid

There was a time,
When I would try to drink away the pain trapped within my mind
There was a time
When I would cry as my heart fell apart from love I couldn't find

So in this relationship I try to compromise
But please don't confuse me otherwise
I would rather be feared or despised
Than to cower to someone's disguise
I can let you go
You know
I'd rather let you go
