Lucy Spraggan Let Go ('Top Room at the Zoo' album) lyrics

I grabbed your hand, you let go
you shake your head and say no
i feel my voice collapse with my hopes
you turn your back and time slows ohh ohh
You leave the bar, I leave my drink and my coat where they are and follow you onto the street
you turn around, look at the ground and say 'don't follow when i leave'. okay,

Chorus:
You said you loved me oh,
that I could trust you oh,
you'll never leave me oh,
after all we got through oh,
I took my chances oh,
strayed all my boundaries oh,
but you dont need me oh,
better off without me oh oh.

I chased the rain down the window,
you're all I see wherever I go,
you're all I see even with my eyes closed,
hidden memories in magazines and clothes and photos at home,
you're in my sleep, in my daydreams in a crowded street or on my own,
while I can't eat I bet you sleep with someones heat against your bones. But,

Chorus:
You said you loved me oh,
that I could trust you oh,
you'll never leave me oh,
after all we got through oh,
I took my chances oh,

strayed all my boundaries oh,
but you dont need me oh,
better off without me oh oh.

I dont see you for some time,
yet everyday you're still in my mind,
my moving forward no longer tortured by the person that you are,
I met someone new yes they're not you but I still wonder how you are,
I lie in bed and smile at my life,
glad I saw sense in the bright lights,
it's dark outside I go downstairs,
look at the door there's someone there,
I hear a knock and my heart drops i'd recognise it anywhere.
I open the door I see your face,
there's a pause and then you say, babe

I said I loved you oh,
that you could trust me oh,
I'd never leave you oh,
if things got ugly oh,
I took my chances oh,
I strayed all your boundaries oh,
I still need you oh,
I'm nothing without you oh oh.

You grabbed my hand I let go, oh.
