Letting Go

I have known since seventeen
You and me are meant to be
And I can’t say I understand
I just wanna hold your hand
I don’t believe that diamond rings
Guarantee us anything
But promises hold us true
If I can’t be there with you

And I’ll stay ‘til my breath goes away
I will stay ‘til my breath goes away
I’ll stay

we didn’t have to fight to find
This love we now call yours and mine
Oh this love is beautiful
Baby, you are beautiful

Soon enough we’ll be old and grey
Tell me now, why would I change anything?

I’m letting go, oh I’m letting go

She asked me, “what are you chasing”?
I couldn’t answer clearly
But there is something deep inside of me
That has a white-knuckle grip on uncertainty

Letting go, a one-way road to a place called peace
Letting go, the searching left me incomplete
Letting go, leads me home when I’m so far gone
Letting go, might be what I need to move on

I feel like I’m chasing down the wind
Hoping that I catch up to it
Somedays it feels like I don’t even have two cents
But I put it in a song and I hope you’re listening

Letting go, a one-way road to a place called peace
Letting go, the searching left me incomplete
Letting go, leads me home when I’m so far gone
Letting go, might be what I need to move on

I’ve been holding tight like my life is on the line
I’m finally letting go don’t why I’m scared of flyin’
I’ve been running wild from the mountains left to climb
I know that waiting on a dream is always worth the time

I’m letting go, I’m letting go, I’m letting go

Letting go, a one-way road to a place called peace
Letting go, the searching left me incomplete
Letting go, leads me home when I’m so far gone
Letting go, might be what I need to

I’ve been holding tight like my life is on the line
I’m finally letting go don’t why I’m scared of flyin’
I’ve been running wild from the mountains left to climb
I know that waiting on a dream is always worth the time

I’m letting go, I’m letting go, I’m letting go

Letting go, a one-way road to a place called peace
Letting go, the searching left me incomplete
Letting go, leads me home when I’m so far gone
Letting go, might be what I need to
To move on

I’m letting go, letting go, oh, I’m moving on

I can’t make the sunrise
I can’t tell you why I would even try
I can’t speed up or slow down the time
And I can’t tell the sky to rain or the stars to shine
Oh no
I’m not in control

I could grow my own food
I could buy the best cleaning products
I could drive the safest car in its class
But I can’t tell you when and how I’m gonna pass

Oh no
I’m not in control
In the end, all I have is my yes and my no
I’m not in control

Oh, the world is going crazy
I feel like everything is fallin’ apart
Yet everybody still tries to pretend
But there’s no telling when and how it’s gonna end

And the grass will keep on growing
and the birds will keep on singing their song
The waves will keep on crashin’
And the world will keep on spinnin’ on its own

I don’t remember everything from high school
I won’t remember most of what I read
my memory is terrible but I can promise you
I’ll never forget you, my love
I can’t recall what I had for breakfast
or the name of the film we saw last night
a million things I’ll forget but one thing I know
I’ll never forget you, my love
I’m just sayin’ I’ll keep getting older
there’s endless things that’ll slip my mind
and there’s no doubt I’ll forget the words of this song
but I’ll never, I’ll never forget you, my love
i have to write down grocery lists and birthdays
my calendar is becoming my best friend
don’t believe that I don’t care, you can rest assured
that I’ll never forget you, my love
I’m just sayin’, I’ll keep getting older
there’s endless things that’ll slip my mind
and there’s no doubt I’ll forget the words of this song
but I’ll never, I’ll never forget you, my love
I’m just sayin’, I’ll keep getting older
there’s endless things that’ll slip my mind
and there’s no doubt I’ll forget the words of this song
there’s no doubt I’ll forget the words of this song
but I’ll never, I’ll never forget you, my love
I’ll never forget you - single

Sometimes I don't understand why I have what I do
Yeah it's hard to understand when I think like I do
Hmm, maybe I just don't get it

I feel like I have always been a goodie-two-shoes
I’ve never tried to do no wrong but boy I’d try to prove it to you
I thought I’d get it

Am I the only one who knows who I am?
Everybody’s got secrets hidden in the palm of their hands
Take it from me, I’m not always who I wanna be

Honestly, honesty is the hardest game to play
I always try to figure out the perfect thing to say
To make it seem like I am exactly who I’m supposed to be
But this game I’ve tried to play is gonna end up killing me
Oh, I think I get it, yeah

Oh can’t you see that we’re all the same
We've all got fears and people to blame
We all fight our selfish pride
Listen to me, you don’t have to hide

Are you the only one who knows who you are?
Everybody’s got secrets tucked in the back of their hearts
Take it from me, I’m not always who I wanna be
Are you who you wanna be?
