Mikhail Laxton - “Dying to let you go“ Official Music Video

I never really got to know my Dad. And when I finally did get to spend any meaningful time with him, he was already very sick. You see, my Dad had spent the last 25 years absolutely abusing alcohol and it had caught up to him. “Dying to let you go” is written from his perspective. But it’s just a fairytale of my Dad slaying his addiction. It’s him realizing that if he couldn’t let it go in time, it would take him. Unfortunately, in reality it was too late for him. The damage had been done and he lost his battle with addiction in 2007 Listen to “Dying to let you go“ “Well the church bells are ringing And I ain’t been home in a while ’Cause I’ve been drinking communion From bottles of whiskey & wine And the pain I ain’t feeling So I’m gonna take my time Cause sooner or later We’re gonna say goodbye When our bodies are left on the floor You keep begging and asking for more For the first time I finally know Darling I’m dying to let you go While the choir is singing I’m standing at your door Thinking how I should tell you That I can’t come around no more Cause the love that you’re needing Is something that I can’t afford Lord knows I don’t want to But I just gotta let you go When our bodies are left on the floor You keep begging and asking for more For the first time I finally know Darling I’m dying to let you go Well the church bells are ringing And I’m finally willing To out down that bottle and pray Cause darling I’m gonna let you go today.“ Written & performed by Mikhail Laxton.
