Letting Go

Letting Go

(album: I Learned It By Watching You)

I´ve got a box of your old love letters. They smell like your perfume. They used to make me shudder in my room in New York-so far away. I´d drag my feet on the street. I could not sleep and had headaches. You´re crossing Lake Ponchatrain, driving in the dark, feeling alone. Six hours from now, you´ll be six hours from home. And I´m letting go for good I hope. I´m letting go for good I hope. Because I don´t love you anymore, and I´m not feeling guilty. It may not seem like much to you, but I´m choosing this, and that means we´re through. Are we really supposed to know each other? What makes us decide that we want to be together? In your eyes there are no lies and in mine a circle of time. You´ve seen me, known me, laid by my side so many times. Everything feels different. Because I don´t love you anymore, and I´m not feeling guilty. Play that beat that gives off heat to me-something I know much better than you. In reaching for the stars, the hair gets singed off your arms. Find your heart and follow it. Take some pain and swallow it; I´m letting go. I´m letting go for good I hope
