Why did you let me go?

You look beautiful and that's what I told you
You said I looked good but you didn't even look
Maybe I misremember, oh, forgive my sinful fixations
Baby, I miss the tenderness that hid in your lips, now becoming abrasive

I've fallen down
I'm sinking now
I'm gonna drown
I know
My pulse has slowed
The paleness showed
Hopeless to hope
Why did you let me go?

Loving is the only crime I've ever really committed
Nothing's ever worth the drive but I'll risk it
Maybe I misremember, oh, forgive a fumbling fool
'Cause baby, I miss the part of this where you did, when you did and I did too

I'm caught in wire
Incoming fire
Making way higher
I know
I'm burning slow
Only flames grow
I scream from below
Why did you let me go?

Times like these, a hand is all I need
I have to breathe, you keep telling me
I know, I know
When gravity pushes down on me
You're still all I see though you keep telling me
"I have to let you go
To save me
I have to let you go"

I've fallen down
I'm caught in wire
I'm sinking now
Incoming fire
I'm gonna drown
Making way higher
I know
I know
My pulse has slowed
I'm burning slow
The paleness showed
Only flames grow
Hopeless to hope
I scream from below
Why did you let me go?
Why did you let me go?
