Let it go.

I'm only so strong
I can hold on forever
but I can't figure out how to let go

I've been keeping the pieces
held together
with a hope and a prayer
for so long,
so long,
they're all fused there

but nothing is where it belongs.

I'm a mess and a wreck
and I'm running on fumes
I'm telling myself
I can do it -- at least, "I think I can. I think I can."

But if its all uphill
and there's no down but the end
how can I hold on
without any breath.

I'm drowning in the sea
of my own reflection
I'm drowning in the pit
of my own intention

I'm no one to me,
but I'm someone to her
and I can't make the images align

I'm alone and alive
I'm alive and alone

Why wont anyone hear
when I call in the night.

If I let it all go....

then what happens to me?
