The Art Of Letting Go
Put away the pictures
Put away the memories
I've poured over & over through my tears
I've held them till I'm blind
They kept my hope alive
As if somehow that might keep you here
Once you believed in a love forever more
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 goodbye
But each time it catches in my throat
You're still here in me
And I can't set you free
So I hold on to what I wanted most
Baby someday we'll be friends forever more
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
Watching us fade
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
I guess I'm learning
Only learning
Learning the art of letting go
Put away the memories
I've poured over & over through my tears
I've held them till I'm blind
They kept my hope alive
As if somehow that might keep you here
Once you believed in a love forever more
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 goodbye
But each time it catches in my throat
You're still here in me
And I can't set you free
So I hold on to what I wanted most
Baby someday we'll be friends forever more
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
Watching us fade
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
I guess I'm learning
Only learning
Learning the art of letting go
