[Intro] [two acoustic guitars, one strumming, one fingerpicking melodic lines] [Verse 1] [male tenor vocals enter] I sought through the images of damages done I contemplate circumstance of stones unturned This trail of tears is a beaten path to my soul Sometimes I wish that I could just let you go [Chorus] And I sit by myself in a world full of strangers A prophet, a poet, unaware of the dangers foretold Still I'm letting you go [Verse 2] Ecstasy avoids me just like the plague The torture, the pain of my wounds my soul braves My heart burns with a fire that's out of control And sometimes I wish that I could just let you go [Chorus] Letting you go should be easy, it shouldn't be hard I can't be free while you're in my heart, I know Just tell me I'm crazy, call me a fool I'm nothing without you, the fiction is true to behold I'm letting you go [Outro] Still, I sit by myself in a world full of strangers A prophet, a poet, unaware of the dangers foretold But I'm letting you go [vocal ends] [acoustic guitars continue melodic fingerstyle pattern] [final strummed G major chord]
