Letting Go

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You tied up your wings With your broken heart-strings And forgot you could fly You're scratching around On the dry, dusty ground And won't look at the sky You planted your wishes like seeds And they grew into lies You never look anyone straight in the eyes You broke all your promises till The truth fell apart And who will be left in the end To shelter your heart? You gave them the dreams that you had They took them and ran You gave them your blood like a rose in your hand When the moment has come For the great letting-go Are you ready to leave? Can you give up your memories Give up your name And everything you believe? [Chorus] And it's all falling away And what's left to say When it's all falling away The silence you hear Like a roar in your ear Is a prayer that is too hard to say [Verse 2] Did you sing with the angels And live in the light Or were you beauty and truth? When the time comes around To surrender it all Well, is it harder to lose? When life is a tattoo that's fading away Like an old lover's name You'll hold on to the beauty You'll even hold on to the pain Well your anger and joy Are two dogs at your heels And they're coming for you When you cried in the night Was it fear or delight Well, neither one of them's true You held up a mirror To show you the stars As they fell from your eyes They slipped through your fingers Like all the bright days of your life And when the moment has come For the great letting-go Are you ready to leave? Can you give up your memories Give up your name And everything you believe? [Chorus] And it's all falling away And what's left to say When it's all falling away The silence you hear Like a roar in your ear Is a prayer that is too hard to say And it's all falling away And what's left to say When it's all falling away The silence you hear Like a roar in your ear Is a prayer that is too hard to say
