Learning to Let Go
It was raining on the night that I first met her
And sunny on the morning that she left
And though I know I'll never quite forget her
It's funny, every day I miss her less
Her whisper hardly echoes through my window anymore
Her smile no longer haunts me in my dreams
Her smell has all but faded from my pillowcase
And I see it ain't as bad as it seemed
I used to hate her on nights I spent alone
I used to blame her for problems of my own
But I was only lying to myself and to my friends
When I said I never wanted to see her face again
And I've been seeing someone new the past few days
I wouldn't call it love but it's a start
It's just nice to talk to someone who doesn't know my old ways
Who can write a brand new story for this heart
'Cause I used to hate her on nights I spent alone
I used to blame her for problems of my own
But I was only lying to myself and to my friends
When I said I never wanted to see her face again
So we'll see each other around once in a while
Shuffle through some small talk when we can
I'll make her laugh and I'm sure she'll make me smile
After all, she's still a part of who I am
And I won't hate her on nights I spend alone
I won't go blaming her for problems of my own
Oh, I was only lying to myself and to my friends
When I said I never wanted to see her face again
A bridge can't keep burning forever, I know
I think I'm finally learning to let go
Yeah, I think I'm finally learning to let go
