Verse 1 It’s laughable, the irony so clear, As you inflict pain, she’s the one you hold dear. Whispering sweet nothings in her ear, While I’m left drowning in my fear. Your happiness with her, a stark contrast, Watching me suffer, I’m just your past. My absence means nothing, it’s plain to see, So go ahead, end this misery for me. Chorus Take your hands and close the door, Silence my cries forevermore. If my demise will set you free, Then let it be, let it be. Verse 2 In your eyes, I’m just a fading light, While she becomes your day and night. Every touch you give to her, Leaves me with wounds that never cure. Your love for her, a burning flame, My existence, a forgotten name. If ending me brings you delight, Then take my life, extinguish the fight. Chorus Take your hands and close the door, Silence my cries forevermore. If my demise will set you free, Then let it be, let it be. Bridge In the shadows, I fade away, A distant memory, a yesterday. Your future lies with her embrace, While I disappear without a trace. Chorus Take your hands and close the door, Silence my cries forevermore. If my demise will set you free, Then let it be, let it be. Outro So here’s my final gift to you, A life surrendered, a love untrue. With my last breath, I set you free, Goodbye, my love… let it be.
