[Hook: Joe Gates]

You make it hard for me to breathe

Drowning in your misery

Trying to save you

But I can’t save you from yourself

So I’ve gotta let go

I’ma sever the tie, I’ma give you to God

This time I gotta let go

Stop living the lie, I’ma give you to God, Give you to God

[Verse 1]

The sound of a heartbeat echoes in an empty room

Went from kissing you, to missing you, to wondering what I really meant to you

All the time I spent with you, nothin’ but a waste

Started off cause I love the chase

Ended up in pain, stuck up in rain

No umbrella, go against the grain

Through the tears trying to stay in my lane

Now I see what they said was true

Can’t figure out where I’m headed to

Should’ve never messed with you, traded the best of who

I am for whatever was left of you

After the hurt, went through the stress

Thought it could work, so I took the test

Can’t sleep for weeks, needed some rest

Now I got this feeling in my chest

Can’t catch my breath

[Hook]

You make it hard for me to breathe

Drowning in your misery

Trying to save you

But I can’t save you from yourself

So I’ve gotta let go

I’ma sever the tie, I’ma give you to God

This time I gotta let go

Stop living the lie, I’ma give you to God, Give you to God

[Verse 2]

Tears fall down from an empty heart

Tried so hard just to fix the parts

Of the puzzle piece, that we need to start

But Im in need of God because I missed the mark

And I missed the smiles, missed the times

That we had at first, when it was feelin right

But you were hurt, from a different guy

So all I got was fights, and all I ever really heard was lies

And I got sick of it, one cold night full of misery

Realized I couldn’t live with it, but it was way too late for me to just forget

So I bit my lip, and tried

To bite my tongue

Never thought I’d ever have to fight for love

But you and me, weren’t right for love

I needed somebody I could trust And spend time with til’ life is up

But survival’s tough, and the hardest thing For me was to just let it be, let her leave

And realize it ain’t up to me, no children, no wedding ring

So I hit my knees, praying to God That he got her through her times that’s hard

And she made it through all her battle scars

Because I’m better off now that were not involved

[Hook]

You make it hard for me to breathe

Drowning in your misery

Trying to save you

But I can’t save you from yourself

So I’ve gotta let go

I’ma sever the tie, I’ma give you to God

This time I gotta let go

Stop living the lie, I’ma give you to God, Give you to God
