The Art of Letting Go

Put away the pictures, put away the memories
I go over and over through my tears
I've held them 'til I'm blind, they kept my hope alive
As if somehow that might keep you here
Once you believe in a love forevermore
How do you leave it in a drawer?

Now here it comes, the hardest part of all
Unchain my heart that's holding on
How do I start to live my life alone?
Guess I'm just learning, learning the art of letting go

Try to say it's over, say the word good bye
But each time it catches in my throat
You're still here with me and I can't set you free
So I hold on to what i wanted most
Maybe someday we'll be friends forevermore
Wish I could open up that door

Now here it comes the hardest part of all
Unchain my heart that's holding on
How do I start to live my life alone?
Guess I'm just learning, learning the art of letting go

What can I say, what can I do
But try to make it through the pain
Not one more day without you

Where do I start, to live my life alone
Guess I'm learning, only learning.
I'll be learning
Learning the art of letting go
