Letting Go
Side Walk Slam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This time is harder than the last
And I'm falling too fast to catch myself
I'll just let you down, so I'm moving on

From my mistakes, heartaches
I might leave alone
But I won't be gone for long
Today's the day, I'm letting go

You said forget about the past
But I remember the laughs
We used to have, they flew by so fast
But I'm moving on

From my mistakes, heartaches
I might leave alone
But I won't be gone for long
Today's the day, I'm letting go

Love will find us once again
I'll finally understand why
Love always takes time




A lesson I hope you'll find
In time you'll say goodbye
