Let Me Go Lyrics
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 head
The shadow on your face
The tune inside your head that put you here in the first place
Well I dont want to be
I dont want to be
I dont want to be your sweet temptation
I dont want to be your new sensation
Its just a delicate distraction
With just a hint of satisfaction
Look me in the eye and let me know
If you cant love me that let me go
Let me go
Let me go
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 dont think you know
I dont think you know
I dont think you know about the screaming
You dont understand the meaning
You could trade it in for laughter
To keep your happy ever after
Look me in the eye and let me know
If you cant love me then let me go
Let me go
Let me go
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 dont want to be
I dont want to be
So let me go
Let me go
