When I turn away, time stands still
What hurts the most is that I know I’m never turning back around
It wouldn’t hurt so much to walk away if I didn’t know that you weren’t going to come after me
Gravity seems to be hard at work
Cause I can’t lift my foot to take a step forward
Instead my heart drags my mind backwards to the past
To all the memories of you and me
To the way it was supposed to be
The way it played in my dreams every single night
But I have to give it up now, I don’t have any more strength left to fight
I nearly drowned myself in the tears shed for you
And still, I’m alone in this bed made for two
But you know what they say, letting go is a form of love
So I guess everything has just come down to nothing
And it’s time for me to make that choice
But no matter what I say…
I hate you because I still love you
But I’m letting you go
Can’t hold on to invisible strings no more
I’m letting you go
Letting you go
It feels so strange to watch you through a window
I’m on the outside now
The smiles, the hugs, the kisses belong to another girl you found
I used to make you smile like that
Make your eyes sparkle like stars in the night sky
But baby, now it’s so dark out
And I have to force myself to sleep, whispering a lie
That I don’t need someone like you to be happy
Well, the thing is my happiness is the definition of you
So I guess it’s half the truth
Cause baby, I don’t have you no more
The future made of you and me
The way it is suppose to be
The way it’s played so many times in my head
The way it happens in those stupid fairy tales I read
I’m through crying tears for you
But seriously, there seems to be nothing else I can do
So what happened to the wings you gave me to fly
Cause now, I can’t even imagine ever seeing another blue sky
But it sucks cause no matter what I say…
I hate you because I still love you
But I’m gonna let you go
Cause it’s impossible to break up a heart that doesn’t exist as a whole no more
I’m letting you go
Letting you go
And I guess one day, someone’s gonna thank you for leaving me behind
But it ain’t coming through my mouth
They say love is letting go of fear
But nobody told me that it meant facing my own tears
But I just want you to know
That I’m never gonna forget…
You and me
How it’s supposed to be
How your reaching hands touched my heart
How you swore we’d never be apart
The broken promises you left for me to decipher
Wondering where I went wrong
All by myself…this broken love song
But now it’s time to be brave
And do something for me for once in my life
I’m letting you go
Letting you go…
