Letting Go

The life we live wanders on and on Trickling by like the words of a song Sweet to taste and sweet to hear Live it in good health and good cheer Our wars are fought over lies and love From a bullet a knife or even a shove No one wants to let go of what they've got Never realizing its not even a lot Everyone changes for better or worse Its the same song just a different verse Some grow up and some grow apart Beginnings end and endings start Friends come because they had to move on Nobody stays in one place very long Don't love to much anyone you know So your heart won't hurt when they decide to go You can search for love and maybe you'll find But what you look so hard for will strip you blind Bright as the sun the light will be Till your day becomes night and you remember me Best friends forever yet best friends for now I can't seem to let go, I just don't know how It seems so wrong to have to take the fall Waiting on love; if it comes back at all
