Lettin' Go

We can't paint over the writing on the wall
The reason we both stay is sleeping down the hall
Night after night, we pretend it'll be alright

We hate to admit it, but we know it's the truth
Things will never be the same between me and you
We've both made mistakes that'll haunt us for the rest of our lives

And nobody said it was gonna be easy
But the best thing right now, is somebody leaving

We tried to make it work, we did the best we could
But sometimes life just don't turn out the way we think it should
And we only keep on with this dog and pony show
'Cause holdin' on is easier than lettin' go

We share a bed, a bank account and a perfect little girl
From the outside looking in it's a perfect little world
But the road we're traveling down ain't leading to a better place

Life's about those big decisions
And we just can't keep on with the way we've been living

We tried to make it work, we did the best we could
But sometimes life just don't turn out the way we think it should
And we only keep on with this dog and pony show
'Cause holdin' on is easier than lettin' go

If it was only as simple as loving
Each other then baby we have it made
But sometimes love just ain't enough when people change

We tried to make it work, we did the best we could
But sometimes life just don't turn out the way we hoped it would
And we only keep on with this dog and pony show
'Cause holdin' on is easier baby
It's gonna be hard for me to leave baby
'Cause holdin' on is easier than lettin' go
Lettin' go
Lettin' go
