Lila (Rough Cuts)

Lila, you took hold of my soul
Now we know it’s time to let go
Lile, and though the lines don’t come easy
I’m asking, darling, please
Look around, when you’ve found
Where you want to be
Wherever you go, you should know
There’ll always be some you inside of me

Lila, you lay your hand upon my heart
Now taking it back is breaking me apart
Lila, and though I know what we must do
I’m asking this of you
Look around when you’ve found
The life you want to lead
Remember me well when you tell
The tale of love you knew you didn’t need

There may be something you should know
Though I’m not dying to let you go
You know it’s time that we need
And though the timing, I concede, was not a friend to us
Maybe it worked out just fine
‘Cause when I think of you as mine
I’m not the one to stop you being free

Lila, don’t sing your lullaby tonight
Let silence hold the hand of the moonlight
Lila, you’ll be a prayer inside of me
And, darling, can’t you see
All you gave, were you brave, or just as scared as I?
Was I a fool, were you cruel to look me in the eye?
Or maybe you tried to deny the magic that could be?
Wherever you go, you should know
You’ll always have a certain part of me

Lila, they want to know if I regret
All I know is it’s a blessing that we met
Lila
