letting go

she walks between the raindrops
her heart skips a beat
and when she bites her bottom lip...

i think there's something wrong with us
she thinks she can't live without me

she's too young for this.

she worries while she dreams
and cries herself to sleep
and sometimes when she looks at me...

i think she should just let go
we're cracking under the pressure

maybe i'm just scared.

she knows the instant i fall asleep
she says my breathing changes
and my head drops just the slightest bit

i don't think i'm ready for this.

she should just let go.
