what we were

Oh, did we place our hearts

Where they both don't belong?

Strange how choices make our lives

Or break our kingdoms down

Oh, what if we could wait?

Could we turn it around?

Reflect upon our past mistakes

For better days we found

For better days we found

The hardest part is letting go

The hardest part is letting go of who we love

And when we need to let go, we hold on twice as hard

Is what we were still what we are?

Is what we were still what we are?

(Is what we were still what we are?)

Remember when you said

Through storms that call your name

I see your heart's still made of love

I see a better man

I see a better man

The hardest part is letting go (The hardest part is letting go)

The hardest part is letting go of who we love

When we need to let go, we hold on twice as hard

Is what we were still what we are? (Is what we were still what we are?)

Is what we were still what we are?

And when we need to let go

We hold on twice as hard

And now we need to let go

What we were ain't what we are

What we were ain't what we–

The hardest part is letting go

The hardest part is letting go of who we love

When we need to let go, we hold on twice as hard

Is what we were still what we are? (The hardest part is letting go)

Is what we were still what we are? (The hardest part is letting go)

Is what we were still what we are? (Is what we were still what we are?)

Is what we were still what we are?
