I Let Somebody Go

I let somebody go

Because I didn't really know

If I was ready

I let somebody go

Because I wasn't really sure

I'd keep it steady

And no, I don't regret it

'Cause I'm doing better

But bless my fickle heart

Sometimes I just don't get her

I let somebody go

Because I had to be alone

It's kind of heavy

I let somebody go

Because I know I couldn't love him

Like I love me

I let somebody go

Because I saw the way I left him

Kind of lonely

I didn't mean to turn towards

A new direction

No, he was just the subject

Of my best intentions

I let somebody go

Because I'm sure

His heart was somehow way above me

And it haunts me in the dead of night

Oh, I'm happy and wretched and terrified

I'm a lover and a fighter

Oh, I give and then I take

And I fall with every fibre

So I keel from every ache

And I drive like I'm a racer

Till I'm scared enough to stall

The second I don't feel quite steady

Then I don't feel much at all

What if I am never ready

What if I'm forever scared

When I meet the man that's made for me

God, let me be prepared

I let somebody go

I let somebody go

I let somebody go

I let somebody go

I let somebody go

I let somebody go

I let somebody go, oh
