I know it's hard but let them go
Learn to live without the one you love most
Just take your steps one at a time
Try not to fall off the thin line
The wound is deep but it will heal
It will bleed for a very long while
After it stops it may reopen
But that's just part of life and love
The pain was worth the good times
And I hope you can sleep at night
Shed a tear every now and then
And know I'll be here for you my friend
You'll think back fondly on memories
And those burdens will become blessings
As you cherish those thoughts forever
And begin to question their reality
Serenity of a familiar grasp
And it's gone now but it's close to my heart
And although it's been 12 years
I'll think about it every now and then
The pain was worth the good times
And I hope you can sleep at night
Shed a tear every now and then
And know I'll be here for you my friend
