I held you for a moment in my hands

The moment with you slipped away like sand

Through my fingers now

In front of me a choice I have to make

To carry on or simply fade away

I lose you either way

I¹d like to say that it was easy, it was hard

To say goodbye, I thought that I would die

Chorus

Letting go of you, was so hard to

And I thought that it would kill me but I made

It through somehow, and I'm so much stronger now

I gave to you my love and my respect

But I could never make you love me back

I denied it soI grew bitter watching you grow cold

My life became your prison, took it's toll

I decided

Like a bird that's trapped

Inside a gilded cage

It's hard to set it free,

Hurts to watch it

Fly away
