Letting Go Lyrics

My first glimpse of something outside
“my window to the world”
we were so much alike…
Cut down in the prime of your life
watching you slip away
but not the world that you gave me

That phone call brought me back in a flash
to the place I remember seeing you last
at least the way I paint it in my mind
regrets I thought I’d left behind

We always left it as “I’ll see you around”
Every chance I had to do so
getting hard to think about
it’s the letting go for good, that before now
I never understood

You answered
every “Why” with “Why Not”
you held everyone so close
and never let us drop
but as time went on
missed messages were failed attempts
to reconnect

Can’t help but
apologize again
for things that
weren’t my fault in the end
but knowing that you’re proud
of where I’ve been
Always on my mind
until we meet again
