Let Me Go - Melissa Etheridge

Am I the snake inside your garden?

The sugar in your tea?

The knock upon your back door?

The twist that turns your key?

Am I the sweat you feel on your hand?

The shadow on your face?

The tune inside your head

That put you here in the first place?

Well, I don’t want to be

I don’t want to be

I don’t want to be your sweet temptation

I don’t want to be your new sensation

It’s such a delicate distraction

With just a hint of satisfaction

Look me in the eye and let me know

If you can’t love me, then let me go

Let me go

Let me go

Let me go

Oh…

Do you try to stay suspended

In your deepest fantasy?

After night has ended

The scent of mystery

The power of suggestion

Tangles up your soul

A neutral state between love and hate

Is bound to take its toll

Well, I don’t think you know

I don’t think you know

I don’t think you know about the screaming

You don’t understand the meaning

You could trade it in for laughter

To keep your happy ever after

Look me in the eye, then let me know

If you can’t love me then let me go

Let me go

Let me go

Let me go

Oh…

Baby in your ivory tower

Do you sleep tight, dream fight?

Baby, does it wet your appetite?

Maybe in your darkest hour

Am I the keeper of your beast?

Well, I don’t want to be

I don’t want to be

So let me go

Let me go

Mmh…
