Learning to Let Go

Living alone, living a lie

Stealing what you need from me

Your heart in your chest, knife in your breast

Call it what you want, honey

When you battle like a soldier

Dropping bombs on everything you see

Fighting a forsaken war, what for?

You create your enemies.

Runaway, runaway, I wish

You would give it up and come home

The fear in your eyes, you’re seeing spies

Everywhere you turn, you know

But you battle like a soldier

Dropping bombs on everything you see

Fighting a forsaken war, what for?

You create your enemies.

But I am learning to let go of you

Learning to let go of you

Learning to let go of you

Learning to let go of you

Give me a rhyme or reason why

I should turn my back and be gone

At times, I confess, it seems the best

And easiest way to go on

But I battle like a soldier,

Picking up the pieces of our love

Fighting a forsaken war—what for,

When it’s time to give up?

So I am learning to let go of you

Learning to let go of you

Learning to let go of you

Learning to let go of you

I am learning to let go of you

Learning to let go of you
