Let Me Go
S.P.I.D. Lyrics

You know it wasn't so long ago
The singer is reminiscing about a time in the past

When things weren't as we know
The past was different from the present

Back when I was younger and had a hunger
The singer was young and curious

For all the things I didn't know
The singer had a thirst for knowledge

And I remember the day when
An event from the singer's past is being recalled

I went out to play
The singer was playing outside

And I bird flew down to my hand
A bird landed on the singer's hand

Didn't want to leave and
The bird seemed attached to the singer's hand

When I asked to keep
The singer wanted to keep the bird with them

I remember my dad said
The singer's dad gave them advice

Yeah son let it go away
The singer's dad advised them to let the bird go

Hope that it comes back
The singer's dad advised them to have hope that the bird will return

Here to you some day
The bird may return to the singer someday

And if it comes back
If the bird returns

you know it's here to stay
The bird will stay with the singer from then on

Since then I've gone through changes
The singer has experienced changes since that time

Since then I've gone through life
The singer has lived their life since then

Since then I found me a beautiful woman
The singer found a woman they thought was beautiful

I thought could be my wife
The singer considered marrying her

She said she really loves me
The woman expressed love towards the singer

But she said she couldn't stay
The woman couldn't stay with the singer

She said I've got to go my love
The woman had to leave the singer

To find things my own way
The woman wanted to find her own path

So I let her go away
The singer let the woman go

Hope that she comes back
The singer hopes the woman returns

Here to me some day
The woman may return to the singer someday

And if she comes back
If the woman returns

I know she's here to stay
The woman will stay with the singer from then on

There's not always reasons for the things in life
Sometimes there aren't explanations for certain things in life

But it's comforting to know within your mind
It's reassuring to have an understanding

If you love something enough
If you care deeply about something

And you've done all that you can
If you've tried your best

If there's one thing I have known and learned first hand
The singer shares a personal lesson

Sometimes you have to just let it go away
Sometimes you have to accept that something can't be kept

Let it go away
Release it

And if it comes back
If it returns

You know it's here to stay
It will stay for good

Let it go
Release it
