The Art of Letting Go

Put away the pictures
Put away the memories
I put over and over
Through my tears
I've held them 'till I'm blind
They kept my hope alive
As if somehow that I'd keep you here
Once you believed 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 goodbye
But each time it catches in my throat
You're still here in 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

Watching us fade
What can I do?
But try to make it through
The pain of one more day
Without you

Where do I start, to live my life alone?
I guess I'm learning, only learning
Learning the art of letting go
