Let You Go

Verse
I want nothing from you 
I don’t need your sympathy 
I don’t need your understanding 
I don’t need your love 
And since you don’t have a clue 
Examine all of our history 
And try to gain your own understanding 
Of why I’ve had enough 

Pre-chorus 1
And we spent some years 
Held in the balance between yes and no 
So there were never tears 
For either one of us as I let go 

Chorus 1
Now that I let you go
(Now that I let you go)

Verse
I took a breath and a nap 
I told my therapist the ugly story 
I ate the whole pint of Ben and Jerry’s 
I called my mom on the phone 
Well I’d expected to snap
Lose my mind in a blaze of glory 
Crushed beneath all the weight it carries 
Turns out I’m fine on my own 

Pre-chorus 2
And we spent those years 
Held in the balance between yes and no 
I might have shed a tear 
If I’d felt a thing as I let you go 

Chorus 2
Now that I’ve let you go
(I’ve done the work and I’m fine without you)
Now that I’ve let you go
(I won’t worry down the line about you) 
Now that I’ve let you go
(Go live your life like I’m trying now to) 
Now that I’ve let you go
(Now I’ve let you go)

Bridge 
And I’m writing you this letter that I’ll never send 
But it somehow makes it better 
Letting go of always having to pretend 

Chorus 3
Now that I’ve let you go
(Ever since you let me go)
Now that I let you go
(Go on and say I told you so)
Now that I let you go
(I guess we always reap what we sow)
Now that I let you go
(Now that I let you go)

Likable

Genres: Pop

You’re not gonna like this
But it’s time to tell the truth
Years are flying by me
And I’ve wasted all my youth
Trying to be the
Agreeable Miss Congeniality
You’re not gonna like this
But she’s not me

You’re not gonna like this
But my smile’s been replaced
With something close to honest
Held the mirror up to face reality
To see a two-dimensional parody of me
You’re not gonna like this
But now I’m living in 3D

I’m so sick and tired of
Trying to be likable
Lie lie lie likable
Give me something else to try
Than being likable
Lie lie lie likable

Life is short they say
Live your life your way
Oh what a privilege
To be so damn trite
But in reality
It’s just so hard to be
Anything but trying to be liked

You’re not gonna like this
But I won’t just go along
Pretending nothing bothers me
When everything is wrong
Now you’ll see me break free
Of all your expectations and just be me
You’re not gonna like this
But it’s time for honesty

I’m so sick and tired of
Trying to be likable
Lie lie lie likable
I’m just trying to get by
By being likable
Lie lie lie likable

Life is short they say
Live your life your way
Oh what a privilege
To be so damn trite
But in reality
It’s just so hard to be
Anything but trying to be liked
Lie lie lie lie
We lie lie lie
We lie to become likable
Lie lie lie lie
We lie lie lie
We like it when you’re likable
