The Lake of One's Being

29 October 2006

Like I was discussing with Stacy the other day, I try to include reasons for why I choose to put certain chunks of lyrics on the blog because it just seems like such a lazy way of blogging otherwise; having a song there and expecting it to explain your feelings/situation for you.

But there are times when it's so apt, so fitting, you don't see the need or point in explaining.

Or sometimes, the song hits so close to home that you're scared.

Well you're the closest thing I have
To bring up in a conversation
About a love that didn't last

But I could never call you mine
Cause I could never call myself yours
And if we were really meant to be
Well then we justify destiny
It's not that our love died
Just never really bloomed

Well I can't let go
No, I can't let go of you
You're holding me back without even trying to.
I can't let go
I can't move on from the past
Without lifting a finger you're holding me back.

And then we saw our paths diverge
And I guess I felt OK about it.
Until you got with another man,
And then I couldn't understand
Why it bothered me so.
How we didn't die we just
Never had a chance to grow.

I can't let go
No, I can't let go of you
You're holding me back without even trying to.
I can't let go
I can't move on from the past.
Without lifting a finger you're holding me back.

And it might not make much sense
To you or any of my friends
Though somehow still you affect the
Things I do.
And you can't lose what you never had
I don't understand why I feel sad
Every time I see you out with someone new.

I can't let go
No, I can't let go
No, I can't let go of you.

I can't let go
No, I can't let go of you
You're holding me back without even trying to.
I can't let go
I can't move on from the past
Without lifting a finger you're holding me back.

I can't let go
No, I can't let go of you
You're holding me back without even trying to.
I can't let go
I can't move on from the past

Can't Let Go - Landon Pigg

This song. It made me revisit certain memories I try to forget.
