Letting Go

Paul McCartney · Other Songs - Paul McCartney

Creeping up again

Lost myself and it's too late

Killing time again

Waiting for my only fate



Trapped within the cage

That I've built with my own hands

Can't release the rage

Shattered life and broken plans



If I knew myself

I wouldn't keep on doing this

But I trick myself

And believe with just one kiss



I can't believe the things I do

All for the sake of pleasing you



In the dark again

Afraid to move but can't sit still

Killed my heart again

To myself I give this pill



If I was myself

I'd find strength to push away

But I hurt myself

And I weaken more each day



I can't believe the things I do

All for the sake of pleasing you



As I come to know you

My disgust grows a new

As you tighten your grip

My worn throat is slowly slit



I can't believe the things I do

All for the sake of pleasing you

I should just stop and let you know

But I'm afraid of letting go, letting go
