Let You Go

This is the first time that I've missed since I left your place
I didn’t know then what I know now
Honest trying, I ain’t lying
The little we talk these days

Like a wallet worn picture that fades out after time
The longer it’s been nostalgia tends to trickle in
Take the wheel for a while

I’m learning to let you go
But I’m only as strong
As skin, as blood, as bone

You look like a fox in my memory
With your lovely face
Strategically speckled eyes but not contrived in your strange
And subtle ways

Though you form to fit the mold of anyone that you hold close
It ain’t necessary going out your way to carry
Whatever pleases the host

Playing tricks
I’m mad at myself again
But I’ve learned what sticks

I’m learning to let you go
But I’m only as strong
As skin, as blood, as bone
