Let It Go

from The Aftermath of '96 by Abi Moore

/

lyrics

She’s still waiting by the lights
It’s gonna be another long night
Hanging on a promise of old
Unaware of the lie she’s been told
Oh girl, let it go
Oh girl, let it go

She waits to be taken away on the ride of her life
‘Cause no other man ever asked to make her his lawful wedded wife
Oh my friend, let it go
Oh my friend, let it go

She’s hanging on a love that could be
But never was and never will be
In her mind she makes a martyr of him
She gladly does time for another man’s sin
Oh my friend, let it go
Oh my friend, let it go

It breaks my heart to see you freezing half to death
But if I told you the truth would it break yours instead?
Oh my friend, let it go
Oh my friend, let it go

And now she’s been waiting ‘til her body’s stiff and tired
He must have been caught up in the traffic again tonight
She packs up all her things and shuffles home
Somewhere she can cry alone
Oh girl, don’t you cry alone

Oh my friend, let it go
Don’t you know he’ll never show?
He’ll never show

about

Abi Moore UK

Americana / Roots-Rock artist from Nottingham. Abi's 4th studio album No More Chasing marks a raucous return after 10 years.

"Impactful, gritty, & above all, brimming with conviction. Abi's stripped back, stomp 'n' holler sound instantly took us to KT Tunstall, while her rootsy, distorted Americana guitar twangs have a delicious White Stripes flavour." RCM
