The Art of Letting Go

Put away the pictures, put away the memories

I go over and over through my tears

I've held them 'til I'm blind, they kept my hope alive

As if somehow that might keep you here

Once you believe in a love forevermore

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 good bye

But each time it catches in my throat

You're still here with me and I can't set you free

So I hold on to what i wanted most

Maybe someday we'll be friends forevermore

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

What can I say, 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

Guess I'm learning, only learning.

I'll be learning

Learning the art of letting go
