The Day We Let Go

Another cold and lonesome night
Full of whisky and tales of love gone wrong
It seems like everyone in here's just marchin' on
Through a thousand emotional battlefields they've known

A friend walks in and takes a seat
At the table reserved just for us
She says if tomorrow is the day we fly away
Then here's to August twenty-nineteen: The Day We Let Go

Past good memories and painful ones
We were headed down a thousand wrong roads
Tryin' to figure out where we went so low
It was so avoiding the wreck of
The day we let go

And why'd you have to do me like that
And why'd it all have to be a show
I still wish the best for you
You know
But there was just somethin' there on The Day We Let Go

And why'd you have to do me like that?
And why'd it all have to be a show?
I still wish the best for you
You know
But there was just somethin' there on The Day We Let Go
And it was so hard to see
That September come
When you left me

Another cold and lonesome night
Of dreams and lessons learned from heartbreak and pain
It just seems strange to me somehow
My firstborn
Today she told me"Mama I've gotta fly away from home"
