Letting Go

LETTING GO


THERE COMES A TIME
YOU WILL KNOW
THERE IS NOTHING LEFT
YOU HAVE TO LET GO

DON'T STAND AROUND
SAYING MAYBE I SHOULD WAIT
CAUSE THIS PERSON
YOU DON'T WANT TO HATE

BEING ALONE IS EVERYONES
GREATEST OF FEARS
SO IT'S OK IF YOU 
SHED ALL THOSE TEARS

ALL THE MEAN THINGS YOU
HAD TO SAY
JUST SAVE IT ...IT 
WON'T TAKE THE HURT AWAY

LET THE ICE AROUND
YOUR HEART MELT
LOOK AT THEM AND REMEMBER
THE LOVE YOU ONCE FELT

THER'S NOTHING ELSE YOU 
CAN DO
STAYING WOULD JUST MAKE
THINGS A DARKER SHADE OF BLUE

IT'S SOMETHING THAT
YOU BOTH KNOW
THE TIME HAS FINALLY COME
YOU HAVE TO LET GO
