Melissa Etheridge Lyrics

Album: Brave and Crazy

Let Me Go Lyrics

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 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 just a delicate distraction

 With just a hint of satisfaction

 Look me in the eye and let me know

 If you can't 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 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 and let me know

 If you can't 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 don't want to be

 I don't want to be

 So let me go

 Let me go
