C'est La Vie

If we could turn back the clocks

And just do this right

Instead of building foundation on a lie

That kept us hidden, that kept us safe

Brought down the walls and took you away


I would have given everything to watch you grow

Into the person that you never thought you could be

But let's not dwell on the things we'll never know

Fight through the tears so your eyes can see


We both know that we've reached the end of this road

You may think that this is easy for me

But I'll have you know


I fight myself night and day to push you out

Hours creep by as I struggle through my doubt


Just let her go


Did you honestly believe

That I would just walk away?

Without hoping you would run back to me


All our thoughts have been said

But I still feel you in my head

This ghost is eating me alive


And I know this is right but it feels so wrong

But it feels so wrong

Letting go of what we've waited for so long

I can't pretend that I don't know the truth

That I don't know the truth

This choice we've made is what's best for you


If life was perfect then there'd be no uncertainty

But insecurity is what makes you feel alive

What is the answer?


Did you honestly believe

That I would just walk away?

Without hoping you would run back to me


All our thoughts have been said

But I still feel you in my head

This ghost is eating me alive


And I will always hold you close

But only in my heart

As far as you know

We're oceans apart

I swear there's nothing more for me here (I swear that I won't look back)

I'll move on, I will grow


I swear there's nothing more for me here (I swear that I won't look back)

(and I know this is right but it feels so wrong)

I'll move on, I will grow (letting go of what we've waited for so long)
