If My Heart Cries, Let It Cry

Lyrics by Ries 777 Music by Ries 777 & Suno Remastered Hmm, ah Let you go How can I let you go As evening falls upon your street My footsteps stop once more In that window, closed and dark Your face is all I see You don’t live there anymore But how do I explain that to my heart At the corner where we used to meet How do I keep walking past I put you in all my tomorrows Imagined a home with you When you chose a path of your own I lost myself along the way I saw you leaving But couldn’t see your pain I kept you close beside me Yet couldn’t reach you all the same Let you go Yes, let you go If my heart cries, let it cry Let you go I still love you But how can I hold you bound Your heart is no longer here How can I ask you to stay What we had was real Why should I call it a lie I’ll keep those moments in my heart And let you go Let you go Let you go Your memory can stay I’ll let you go You said, listen to me, too I said, but I’m right here Your eyes were asking me for something While I was lost inside my screen You gently reached your hand toward me I said, not right now When I think about that moment I see how lonely you must have been I kept telling all my friends That you had broken my heart I kept counting all your mistakes Without looking at my own I counted everything I gave As though you owed it back But the dream that I had woven Why did you have to live it, too We kept saying, it’ll be alright But never finished what we had to say I couldn’t hear your silence Though it was speaking, too Let you go Yes, let you go If my heart cries, let it cry Let you go I still love you But how can I hold you bound Your heart is no longer here How can I ask you to stay What we had was real Why should I call it a lie I’ll keep those moments in my heart And let you go The years I spent with you Still live within my heart My love cannot keep you bound I’m beginning to understand The memories and the anger Both remain with me I’m learning how to understand you Forgiveness needs more time I haven’t found forgiveness yet It still hurts inside But when I say your name again I want to say it gently I cannot change the past I’ll stop fighting what has been So you can walk your own path And I can move ahead Let you go Yes, let you go If my heart cries, let it cry Let you go I still love you But I won’t stand in your way Your heart is no longer here I won’t ask you to stay What we had was real And it will stay with me Carrying your memories My heart will learn to move again Let you go Yes, let you go I’ll give my heart some time And let you go Today, at the corner of your street I paused, then carried on I don’t know where this road leads tomorrow But I took another step Hmm Let you go
