Letting Go Songtext
von Ryan Farish

I held on to that last cigarette
Like it was some kind of life line
Rolled it back and forth between my fingers
Let it hang from my lips like a kiss that lingers
I guess all my favorite habits die hard
And your love is no exception
It hangs by a thread from a window in my heart
I let it lay there lifeless like a pillow in my arms
′Cause I've never been good at letting go
Never walked away from anything that I thought I could hold
All I′ve let slip through my hands, I left scratches on
'Cause I've never been good at letting go
When I was a kid all the birds with broken wings
Seemed to find their way to my house
And I could feed ′em through a straw or patch ′em up with a sling My dad had to be the one to set them free
'Cause I′ve never been good at letting go
Never walked away from anything that I thought I could hold
All I've let slip through my hands, I left scratches on
′Cause I've never been good at letting go
That′s how it was when I tuned you loose
Your love caught freedom's wind
Away you flew
I've never been good at letting go
Never walked away from anything that I thought I could hold
All I′ve let slip through my hands, I left scratches on
′Cause I've never been good at letting go
All I′ve let slip through my hands, I've left scratches on
I′ve never been good at letting go
