I let him go lyrics by Melissa Kimai

Verse 1
I’ve spent a year building his name
Told every person I’m the one to blame
I called him good, I called him kind
Said he’s the best I’ll ever find
I said he loved me with his whole heart
That I’m the one who tore it apart
I smiled through every lie I told
Protecting him like solid gold

Pre-Chorus
Because if they knew the cracks he made
I’d have to face the mess I stayed

Chorus
So I let him go for his own good
Told them I’d break him if I could
Said I walked away to save his light
That I’d just ruin him overnight
I praise his name, I guard his face
While I’m the one lost in disgrace
I wear the blame, I choke the truth
I let him go for his own good

Verse 2
My best friend asks me why I hide
Why I don’t fight to stay in his life
I tell her he deserves the world
That I’m just poison dressed as a girl
I talk about how much he gave
How hard he fought, how much he stayed
But every word just cuts me deep
‘Cause I know it’s all a lie I keep

Pre-Chorus
If they knew the way he let me break
They’d see the love I had was fake

Chorus
So I let him go for his own good
Told them I’d wreck him if I could
Said I walked away to save his light
That I’d just ruin him overnight
I praise his name, I guard his face
While I’m the one lost in disgrace
I wear the blame, I choke the truth
I let him go for his own good

Bridge
I could’ve torn his name apart
Exposed the cracks behind his heart
But I held back, I stayed small
Took the fall, protected it all

Final Chorus
So I let him go for his own good
Played the villain like I should
Told the world he never failed
While I unravel, frail, derailed
I call him perfect, I take the shame
Let everyone worship his name
But deep down I know what’s true
He broke me first
But I shielded you
