Let me go I mean that gently Aim to forgive me Sell my clothes Keep the pictures Don't forget me One last flight But I won't pack a bag I'm not coming back this way A lifetime now Is just a simple blink If you're standing far away Or you have eyes to filter And hide your guilt A thought that was once unthinkable Can't be killed Eventual hand Come on down and grab me I'm leaving early On my command Most try to beat you back I see you as my friend Things break down You can try to fix them Others should be thrown away No use now Let's take some pictures Before I move away Hold me close It'll hold you over 'Til you get over it I was a flower in the winter That did not believe in spring That there could be second chances For even the most rotten things Let the flowers use my body Let the air reclaim my breath When I really thought that nothing Was the thing that would be best Then I was reminded Or I thought of it myself That I too was a flower I just needed a little help I was poisoned by the hand When at my birth the cards were dealt But there's not a person beyond saving If they decide to save themselves Good news friends I'm not going anywhere You can put your words away Keep the film We'll take some other ones On some future days You can leave the red door closed I'll shut some other ones This isn't over yet On and on that story goes What else is there to write about When you are what sought your death Let me take a moment now Catch my breath, turn around See how far I've really come I can barely even see where I started from Let me go now, let me stay And I won't stand in my own way That's a thing worth celebrating To myself Congratulations Congratulations Congratulations Congratulations Congratulations Congratulations Congratulations Congratulations
