LETTING GO (CONFUSION)
(by Ondrea N. Lewis 1999)

How do you let go of someone
Who has always been your world?

How do you throw away an oyster
When you know inside there is a pearl?

Years of investing, time and energy spent
Then one day you ask yourself, what has it all meant?

Does he really love me?
Will he care if I go away?

Without the love that you�ve given
Can I live another day?

I don�t know how to let go
I�ve tried and tried again

You were the only one
With whom my life I wanted to spend

You don�t feel like talking
Is what you said to me
Could after all this time
You want to be free?

I could be free too
But do I want to be free of you?

I don�t
Yes I do.
No�.*Tears* I don�t

What am I gonna do without your hugs?
What am I gonna do without your kisses?
What am I gonna do without your touch?
What am I gonna do without your love?

I�m gonna be strong
I don�t need you to be happy.

Do I?
Yes�.*Tears* I do.

It�s gonna be hard
But I�m gonna make it through

I�m self efficient
I don�t need a man
I�m gonna move on
I�ve got plans

I will be happy
One day I know
But it will still be hard
Letting go.
