Lights out, I sit down and I watch my mistakes as a movie, it won't stop

You're outside, throwing out sparks, do you ever think about the past

You live your life - no looking back, you seem to live with no regret

Some healthy reminiscing is okay, but it shouldn't suffocate me

Oh when I remember what was, the bad outweigh the good thoughts

A shining spark gets overshadowed, now it's as dark as the night

Why did or did I not say that, is what I think lying in my bed

It just don't feel right

Teach me how to let go

Show me how to brush my mistakes aside to the back of my mind

Teach me how to let go

Show me how you forget so all you remember is happiness

Lessons shouldn't be the only thing I gain from it all

Teach me how to let go

Mixed feelings in my memory will be overwritten with a tragedy

I know I can be annoying I know I can disappoint

Though it wasn't too bad in the end, I won't remember it like that

I should check the box of my treasure quest: "Life lesson learned, on to the next"

Oh when I remember what was, the bad outweigh the good thoughts

A shining spark gets overshadowed, now it's as dark as the night

Why did or did I not say that, is what I think lying in my bed

It just don't feel right

Teach me how to let go

Show me how to brush my mistakes aside to the back of my mind

Teach me how to let go

Show me how you forget so all you remember is happiness

Lessons shouldn't be the only thing I gain from it all

Teach me how to let go

And I have to relive that passage again until I can deal with what I said

I write it down to stop the flashbacks

And I have to relive that passage again and again so I can kick it out of my head

I fold a paper plane and let it fly away

Teach me how to let go

Show me how to brush my mistakes aside to the back of my mind

Teach me how to let go

Show me how you forget so all you remember is happiness

Lessons shouldn't be the only thing I gain from it all

Teach me how to let go
