Melissa Etheridge - Let Me Go lyrics

Am I the snake inside your garden The sugar in your tea The knock upon your back door The twist that turns your key Am I the sweat you feel on your head The shadow on your face The tune inside your head that put you here in the first place Well I don't want to be I don't want to be I don't want to be your sweet temptation I don't want to be your new sensation It's just a delicate distraction With just a hint of satisfaction Look me in the eye and let me know If you can't love me that let me go Let me go Let me go Do you try to stay suspended In your deepest fantasy After night has ended The scent of mystery The power of suggestion Tangles up your soul A neutral state between love and hate Is bound to take its toll Well I don't think you know I don't think you know I don't think you know about the screaming You don't understand the meaning You could trade it in for laughter To keep your happy ever after Look me in the eye and let me know If you can't love me then let me go Let me go Let me go Baby in your ivory tower Do you sleep tight dream fight Baby does it wet your appetite Maybe in your darkest hour Am I the keeper of your beast Well I don't want to be I don't want to be So let me go Let me go
