|
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) |
