The First To Let Go

In my meager defense

I've tried to make sense

Of the chaos that clutters my mind

You could nail to my soul

Every reason to go

But the reason to stay I would find

'Cause there is no resolution

Or clear-cut conclusion

As I'm caught between the ebb and flow

But for you I'll discover

The will to recover

For you I'll be the first to let go

(The first to let go)

I'm not his, I'm not yours

I'm not mine anymore

Somehow the silver lining was torn

And we won't get too far

With the door just ajar

Only whispers keeping us warm

I'll send you a lullaby

Across the burnt orange sky

So looking to heaven you'll know

For you I let go

When I see on your face

One day I've been replaced

I'll smile as I watch you fly

And say one grateful prayer

For the angel who's there

And cry for the one left behind

'Cause there's no resolution

Or clear-cut conclusion

As I'm caught between the ebb and flow

But for you I discovered

The will to recover

For you I was the first to let go

The first to let go
