Why's It So Hard To Let Go- of What's Never Been Mine

Livin' ain't easy When you wonder what this life could be If we only Had the chance to live out our dreams I keep hoping And pretending that someday I'll be As important to you As you've always been to me Why's it so hard to let go Of what's never been mine I still live with this burden That lays heavy on my mind I keep asking the same question While getting no reply Why's it so hard to let go Of what's never been mine I'm stuck between what I believe Could be Heaven or could be hell Some days I guess I deal with This purgatory well If I had the chance to let go I'm not sure that I would Cause how would I say goodbye And give up on all that's good Why's it so hard to let go Of what's never been mine I still live with this burden That lays heavy on my mind I keep asking the same question While getting no reply Why's it so hard to let go Of what's never been mine I can't stomach all this hurt and pain While feeling emptiness inside A man can't live on hope alone So I keep swallowing my pride What ain't dying are these feelings They stay bottled up inside They've been there for over half my life And they'll be there till I die Why's it so hard to let go Of what's never been mine I still live with this burden That lays heavy on my mind I keep asking the same question While getting no reply Why's it so hard to let go Of what's never been mine While we both walk upon this earth I guess we still have time
