I Just Can't Seem to Let You Go

From My Book of Poetry, 'Tales from the Book of Paradox'

Back in the days

When I still had you

I didn't need anyone else at all

But if I could have

Looked at the future

The scenes would have stained

My crystal ball

Since you've been gone

The joker's laughing

Guess you must have done some funny things

I've tried and I've tried

Hard to forget you

But I can't escape the dreams my nighttime brings

I just can't seem to let you go

Can't help but let my feelings show

You let me down and it hurt me so

But I just can't seem to let you go

Made in the shade

Nothing could be better

We were two young lovers

Getting our kicks

Then I worked late

11 till 7

And you went to somebody else

For your fix

Sometimes the truth

Is hard to swallow

When your hit with facts

You don't want to face

But the pedestal I've put you on

Has crumbled

And the pieces are beginning

To fall into place

Came home late

A car was leaving

The scene of a crime

That's already solved

Kick in the door

Your throat's in my fingers

No one's around

To hear your calls

I just can't seem to let you go

Can't help but let my feelings show

You let me down and it hurt me so

But I just can't seem to let you go
