Letting Go

- originally written February 5, 2007 -

The thing is that I've been holding on to you
And that means you haven't been able to move on
I know now that I have to let you go on through
I just hate to think of what I'll do when you're gone

I thought I could keep you here, keep you next to me
Little did I know that you felt like a bird in a cage
Now the time has come to set things right, set you free
The story must go on, its time we turned the page

But the thing is that you've already left me here
I know because I can't feel you around me anymore
All I can feel now all around me is all the fear
But to ask you to stay, I can no longer implore

It may feel wrong to me here in my heart
But I also know deep down that this is right
Its time we went on our separate ways apart
We must move on as two strangers in the night

And even though your gone now and I'm still here
Know that as I move on I will still love you
And I'll try real hard not to shed another tear
Because I don't want this release to be untrue
