alea gabrielle - i let a good thing die

I found the letter that you wrote me
On the night you told me you loved me
In a box called 'memories'
Just like the movies
It was folded up
Full of dust
I had to blow away
And as I read past the tear stains
That you left on the pages
I remembered how I felt
In that moment
And all the feelings came
Flooding, flooding
Can't help but think
What if, what if
I just tried
I let a good thing die
Cause I was afraid to cry
I was so close
To putting my cards on the table
I had to leave
Cause I hated that you made me weak
I was scared
I didn't wanna let you in
So I let you go instead
You had me singing
Love songs on repeat
The way you always made me feel
Was straight from a movie scene
Never really felt
A love like yours
I know I won't
Find anything close
And as I sit and reminisce
Thinkin bout your kisses
I can't help but miss
Every little thing
And all the feelings came
Flooding, flooding
Can't help but think
What if, what if
I just tried
I let a good thing die
Cause I was afraid to cry
I was so close
To putting my cards on the table
I had to leave
Cause I hated that you made me weak
I was scared
I didn't wanna let you in
So I let you go instead
Almost stayed when you asked me to
I knew I couldn't change
Wouldn't be fair to you
I had to walk away
I had to say goodbye
I had to let a good thing die
