Letting You Go (Marvin Shelton-ASCAP)

[Verse 1]
It don’t seem right, seeing a grown man cry
Keep it all inside, it’ll be alright
But that’s not the way I feel.
This broken heart is real

[CHORUS]
I guess it’s a good thing that I didn’t know
That we’d part ways somewhere down the road
Cuz I would have up and run
Never done the things we’ve done
So if you don’t mind I’m taking it slow, letting you go

[Verse 2]
When you and I met for the first time
Oh how I tried so hard to catch your eye
I knew what we had was real
That’s still the way I feel

[CHORUS]
I guess it’s a good thing that I didn’t know
That we’d part ways somewhere down the road
Cuz I would have up and run
Never done the things we’ve done
So if you don’t mind I’m taking it slow, letting you go

[Solo]
[Bridge]
I knew what we had was real
Dammit that’s how I feel

[CHORUS]
I guess it’s a good thing that I didn’t know
That we’d part ways somewhere down the road
Cuz I would have up and run
Never done the things we’ve done
So if you don’t mind I’m taking it slow
If you don’t mind I’m taking it slow, letting you go
letting you go


Letting you Go

I am a lyricist just trying to get noticed. I am not a musician like most of you although I know what my lyrics should sound like in my head, and I use whatever I have at my disposal to create that sound. That includes AI. Then I take the Stems and put them into FL Studio to get the final sound I want.  I just want to write songs for people, artists, whomever and hear them come to life on the radio and streaming services. I can only play drums, and my singing voice sounds like an old coon hounds wail and since I can't afford to pay studio artists, I get the help from wherever is possible. I have so many poems and journal entries of my life and experiences on this planet that aren't doing anyone any good sitting on my computer, so I decided to try to bring them to life.
