Let It Go

Now I am my own worst enemy Because I'm weak on my way I allow myself to succumb To the spoils of my day And I pray and I pray This happens too much This strangles my crutch Thought I had the strength to address Now my failings I must confess I’m falling down, I'm on the ground I can’t keep growing When I don’t know what I'm throwing And waiting for that miracle that I know Will never come I'm falling down, I'm falling down If by some miraculous chance A formula to take me out of this trance Where to see, where I'm going wrong So I can stop, singing this jaded worn out song Silence forever my nemesis, stop falling down I'm only a human I know and so I should take it easy, chill out, and let it go But I can’t see myself, can’t see the way That voice inside me compels me to stay Where do I turn? Where will I learn? Now I am my own worst enemy Because I know, let it go ©dbyrne July 2014
