Analysis of I have to let you go
I don't want to, but I have to let you go.
I'll miss you so, but I have to let you go.
I love you so, but I have to let you go.
I need you, but I have to let you go.
You say you miss me, but you let me go.
You say you miss me, but you miss me as just a friend.
You say you like hang out with me, but only as my friend.
So I don't want to do this, but I have to.
I have to let you go.
I cant just be around you, longing to hold you so.
I cant just talk to you, knowing how much I love you so.
I cant just be your friend, anymore.
Because I cant seem, to let you go.
Yet you already have, let me go.
so now i must somehow,
Let you go.
