Edsilia Rombley  - Gotta Let Me Go

Country - Netherlands     Player - Ruben

How'd ever get in this position
Being the one you're always leaning on for direction and strength
Every winding road every decision
Why is it always me who has to load through every lane
Something here has go to change
Something has to rearrange
Maybe you think it's only all about you
But in case you did not see, in the heart of me
I have got some dreams of my own I want to do

I don't want to make everything all right
I can put the day into every night
Sometimes you gotta, you gotta let me go
I don't want to think for you all the time
Don't wanna be the one always on the line
You gotta learn to let me go

If you really want to be master of your destiny
Baby you got to take some kind of control
If I do the things for you, that you should do
You will never know what's waiting there inside your soul
I don't want to make everything all right
I can put the day into every night
Sometimes you gotta you gotta let me go
I don't want to think for you all the time
Don't wanna be the one always on the line
You got to learn to let me go

What I want and what I need
What I really see in the heart of me
Is both of us doing the things we dream and we put it together
And someday we'll look up and the things we made with love
That will last 'til the end of forever

I don't want to make everything alright
I can put the day into every night
Sometimes you gotta you gotta let me go
I don't want to think for you all the time
Don't wanna be the one always on the line
Oh, can't you understand sometimes you gotta let me go
You gotta let me go
Baby you gotta let me go
You got to learn to let me go
