Learn to Let Go
Anne-Kathrin Dern Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hope that day I see that you and I are through
I hope that someday you'll call-- I won't be in at all
You've hurt me too much I shouldn't stay
You've hurt me, but I let you come back anyway
But you won't hurt me with this call-because I won't be in at all
Maybe if I'm lucky it won't show
Cause I'm going to work to put you out of my mind
I'm going to find a way now
To let go
Let go
I wanted to give you all I had to give
I wanted to live freely but you wouldn't let me live
I wanted so much to never let you go
But now I'm going to say goodbye and go
Baby I will love you all the rest of my life
Maybe if I'm lucky it won't show
Cause I'm going to work to put you out of my mind
I'm going to find a way now
To let go
Let Go
Letting go is not easy
Just let the telephone ring
When my heart says yes
But my head says no
I won't answer and show the truth inside
I guess it's just something
I'm going to hide
Baby I will love you all the rest of my life
Maybe if I'm lucky it won't show
Cause I'm going to work to put you out of my mind
I'm going to find a way now
To let go
Let go
