You've got me hangin from your halo
You just smile cause you don't mind
You paint a picture, you quote your scripture
Soon you'll make your whole world blind
You can say what you will, you can force down the pill
You can find each and every desire
If they do what you say, you'll still take it away
And you'll look to me to point the finger, so I won't linger
You're watching as I gasp for air
While you wear everything you stole
You're in my head and now you've said what
I've been thinking all along
That there's nowhere to go, and you'll keep up the show
I guess the situation's getting dire
Now I'm clawing the rope, cause I've lost all the hope
That I'll be wrapped around your finger, so I won't linger
Every night I think about your face inside that frame
Locked inside a purgatory, where you've forgotten your name
And when I'm walking in those halls, I cannot hear my voice
Surrounded by the deadened walls and robbed of my own choice
But you gave me somethin to believe in
You held my head when I was grievin'
And now those days are gone, and you belong to
The eyes who can't see your face
And every move that you wish to make
Lies on a tortured path
Where every thought that you try to shake
Will turn and show it's wrath
It will linger
I wanted you to hold me down
While you wound the noose and tied
A face of lead, my fingers bled
I just hung my head and cried
I was feeding the blame
I was tending the flame
I was taking it down to the wire
And you gave up the ghost
When you wanted it most
Now you look to me to point the finger
So I won't linger
No I won't linger
No, I won't feed the flame
Cause you're never gonna be the same
I know it's slippin away from you
It's getting further every day
You say that I am wrong
And I don't hear you now
Truth is I've been here before
And now I'll be going away
Cause I won't feed the flame
But I never will forget your name
There was somethin about you
It's sad it's gotta be this way
I see it in your eyes
You saw through my pale disguise
But darkness now surrounds you
And you've exposed all of your lies
No, I won't feed the flame
No, I won't let you stake your claim
I've been caught in your web too long
And now I've learned the tricks of your game
You wanted me to know
That you weren't afraid to show
Everything that was dear to you
So you could have someone to blame
So I won't feed the flame
But I never will forget your name
You made me finally realize
What's hidden in every frame
In the days where I could feel every bit of your glow
There was a silent rhythm, an invisible flow
We were right in tune
Like the sun and the moon
I wanted you to know, but I spoke too soon
I could feel it
Slippin out of my hand
And I cried out
With a sacred command
And though I've tried my best, it was all in vain
The image in my head is all that remains
I'm sick of always having to put on a show
I've gotta let it go
I've gotta let it go
I wanted this more than you'll ever know
But I've gotta let it go
I've gotta let it go
I've tried so hard to get you out of my head
But I've stiched you right in, with every bit of the thread
I hear your echo in this silent room
And now I know that your words built a tomb
Cause I had you
And then you hid your face
Now the silence screams out
With your silhoutte trace
This was born of the light
And now reduced to dust
It's just like you to do what you must
I hear your favorite song on the radio
I've gotta let it go
I've gotta let it go
Cause everytime I think of you, the darkness grows
I've gotta let it go
I've gotta let it go
You could take the world on your shoulders
But you're so much bolder,
You throw it down at your feet
I wish I could do all the things that you do,
But I just can't compete
You've got your heart in your hand
But you're dead where you stand
Cause you keep it hidden from view
You're burning down the house to start anew
I guess I'll do it too
Cause I'm sick of always having to put on a show
I've gotta let it go
I've gotta let it go
I wanted this more than you'll ever know
I've gotta let it go
I've gotta let it go
