C'est La Vie
If we could turn back the clocks
And just do this right
Instead of building foundation on a lie
That kept us hidden, that kept us safe
Brought down the walls and took you away
I would have given everything to watch you grow
Into the person that you never thought you could be
But let's not dwell on the things we'll never know
Fight through the tears so your eyes can see
We both know that we've reached the end of this road
You may think that this is easy for me
But I'll have you know
I fight myself night and day to push you out
Hours creep by as I struggle through my doubt
Just let her go
Did you honestly believe
That I would just walk away?
Without hoping you would run back to me
All our thoughts have been said
But I still feel you in my head
This ghost is eating me alive
And I know this is right but it feels so wrong
But it feels so wrong
Letting go of what we've waited for so long
I can't pretend that I don't know the truth
That I don't know the truth
This choice we've made is what's best for you
If life was perfect then there'd be no uncertainty
But insecurity is what makes you feel alive
What is the answer?
Did you honestly believe
That I would just walk away?
Without hoping you would run back to me
All our thoughts have been said
But I still feel you in my head
This ghost is eating me alive
And I will always hold you close
But only in my heart
As far as you know
We're oceans apart
I swear there's nothing more for me here (I swear that I won't look back)
I'll move on, I will grow
I swear there's nothing more for me here (I swear that I won't look back)
(and I know this is right but it feels so wrong)
I'll move on, I will grow (letting go of what we've waited for so long)
And just do this right
Instead of building foundation on a lie
That kept us hidden, that kept us safe
Brought down the walls and took you away
I would have given everything to watch you grow
Into the person that you never thought you could be
But let's not dwell on the things we'll never know
Fight through the tears so your eyes can see
We both know that we've reached the end of this road
You may think that this is easy for me
But I'll have you know
I fight myself night and day to push you out
Hours creep by as I struggle through my doubt
Just let her go
Did you honestly believe
That I would just walk away?
Without hoping you would run back to me
All our thoughts have been said
But I still feel you in my head
This ghost is eating me alive
And I know this is right but it feels so wrong
But it feels so wrong
Letting go of what we've waited for so long
I can't pretend that I don't know the truth
That I don't know the truth
This choice we've made is what's best for you
If life was perfect then there'd be no uncertainty
But insecurity is what makes you feel alive
What is the answer?
Did you honestly believe
That I would just walk away?
Without hoping you would run back to me
All our thoughts have been said
But I still feel you in my head
This ghost is eating me alive
And I will always hold you close
But only in my heart
As far as you know
We're oceans apart
I swear there's nothing more for me here (I swear that I won't look back)
I'll move on, I will grow
I swear there's nothing more for me here (I swear that I won't look back)
(and I know this is right but it feels so wrong)
I'll move on, I will grow (letting go of what we've waited for so long)
