I know I'll have to let you go

I don't think I'm strong enough to let you go,
to let you be the strong person you want to be
the person you've always wanted to be

I can't imagine letting you walk away,
from safety to danger,
from a life I hardly trust, to a life I can't even think of

And I know that sounds awful selfish
and you know I wont try to stop you,
thats not the way it works anyway

you've always wanted this
since before I could remember knowing you
and no one has the right to tell you different,
Especially not someone who has no plans for life
Not someone, who may or may not have a permanent place in your life
Especially not me.

I know I wont be strong enough to let you go,
I know I'll have to anyways,
I know it wont be easy
I know its what you want to do..

All I can do is hope,
That I can pretend to be strong enough for you.
