Funny how the little things |
|
Can stake a claim in memory |
|
And cheat time to last a hundred years |
|
I swore that I'd be strong enough |
|
To drop my heart and pick it up |
|
And make the great escape without a tear |
|
I'm so naive |
|
And I hold my breath a little too long |
|
And you were quick to carry on |
|
And I'm learning in the afterglow |
|
It's a long way |
|
A long way to letting go |
|
Waiting on eventually |
|
Where you'll become my history |
|
And I'll begin to rebuild the walls |
|
I'll forget to mention you |
|
And wish that you were lonely too |
|
And never ache, missing your calls |
|
I'm so naive |
|
And I hold my breath a little too long |
|
And you were quick to carry on |
|
And I'm learning in the afterglow |
|
It's a long way |
|
A long way to letting go |
|
Was looking easier ideally |
|
And I falter at my hesitation's end |
|
Close my eyes as I begin the countdown, |
|
Reach for breath, I'm counting down |
|
But I hesitate at ten |
|
And I hold my breath a little too long |
|
And you were quick to carry on |
|
And I'm learning in the afterglow |
|
It's a long way |
|
A long way to letting go |
