Story behind the song
Anyone who's known me for the past 3-4 years can pretty much nail the story behind this lyric without me saying a word...but for the fortunate few who don't know the story. Bill (ex-boyfriend/fiance)...and I broke up a year ago this past October...in May of last year...less than a year after the ending of our three year relationship...he announces to me that he's getting married...to a woman he's known for less than 4 months. Anyway...the whole thing sent me into an emotional tail spin and the lyric came from one too many nights of sleeplessness and being tired of being weepy and angry and tired...again...my own personal therapy! Worked like a charm!!
Lyrics
"Praying to Let Go" Give me strength I'm so tired Hesitant, I'm unconvinced That I'm up to this task There's so much I need to say But my words are uninspired Longing for answers to questions I'm not sure I want to ask I've held on to this bitter end Shaken and uncertain that I'm strong enough To start over again Praying for peace My mind's so wired Struggling to wrap itself around What I thought would never come to pass I'd laid my faith In a future that's been retired Against my will My spirit's caged in the past Letting go is not someting I do well Life goes on while I'm standing still Caught between your heaven and my hell Give me strength I'm so damn tired Loving you , has taken me to task Have you closed your eyes To the dreams this love inspired Or just living them With someone, who isn't me (c) Mary L.
