Go

You used to dry every tear that ran down my cheek,
Pick me up when I couldn’t walk ‘cause I was too weak,
Cover my ears to soften every painful sound,
Be there to catch me before I’d hit the ground,
Always checking, checking to see if I was coming,
So we’d be off, escaping, only focusing on running,
Running away, away from it all,
‘Cause that’s how you helped me not to fall,
And now, now I guess I can walk on my own,
The day has come when I can make it alone,
‘Cause now there’s someone else who needs you more than me,
And our time together is as distant as yesterday’s soliloquy,
Fighting it would only put resent between us,
So I let you go, let you go like I know I must,
[I don’t care, it doesn’t matter, I don’t need you],
[Move on, go away, I don’t need you],
It’s alright, I’ll heal my own sore,
Don’t look back, don’t look back anymore,
I’m happy for you, happy you’ve found someone new to trust,
And I’m part of the majority, part of the people moving like they’re rushed,
You just keep on running, keep on running to the person who needs you more than I,
Don’t give up, you’ll always get there if you try,
And I’ll stay here, stay here with the memories and silly dreams,
While you’re off doing good, changing the world so it seems,
I only wish I’d thanked you, thanked you for everything you helped me through,
I just wish the time hadn’t come to part, I just wish I’d knew,
But I’ll stand tall, I’ll stand proud,
‘Cause when you look my way I’m just part of the crowd,
I hope that you’ll soar, spread your wings,
They’re celestial yet so dark, the envy of queens and kings,
With as fast as you’re going you should realize it by now,
I believe in you, I believe you know how,
Go, just go on,
Now that you’re gone,
Keep going, don’t stop,
You’ve never been so close to the top,
Never look back again, you’ve helped me figure out what to do,
And now I’m walking on my own, walking on my own away from you.
