Letting go

Verse 1]

I'm letting you go, today's the day,

I pack my things and walk away.

My voice trembles, my throat is dry,

Fighting a flood of tears as I say "Goodbye".

I'm tired of pretending that nothing is wrong,

But you and I were doomed all along.

Almost had it all, got closer than the rest,

Life with or without you... I'm not sure what happens next.

Even though i want I to, I know that i can't stay,

Where the sky is never blue but always a shade of gray.

Turn into the wind ready to start again.

The tears will dry though I dont know when.

Walking these streets cold and alone

Where life will lead me now it's unknown

But I know you'll always have a piece of my soul

and I'll carry you with me to keep my heart whole

Once upon a time I thought you cared,

When I see you I can't help but to stop and stare.

Into your ocean blue eyes gazing deep Into mine,

With your fingers tangled in my hair, our bodies intertwined

I sacrificed my peace always filled with self doubt,

My self esteem crippled... this is what I tried to tell you about.

Almost had it all, got closer than the rest,

Life with or without you... I'm not sure what happens next.

Even though i want I to, I know that i can't stay,

Where the sky is never blue but always a shade of gray.

Turn into the wind ready to start again.

The tears will dry though I dont know when.

Walking these streets cold and alone

Where life will lead me now it's unknown

But I know you'll always have a piece of my soul

and I'll carry you with me to keep my heart whole

Our memories they haunt me

Creep into my mind when I fall asleep

The echos at midnight

Of the whispered vows we swore to keep

Ill hold on to the life I thought we'd share

Can't forget this love nothing else could ever compare

Almost had it all, got closer than the rest, (closer than the rest)

Life with or without you... I'm not sure what happens next.(don't want to settle for second best)

Ill hold on to the life I thought we'd share

Can't forget this love nothing else could ever compare
