Let them come
let them go
If they ask let them know
Sometimes
you don’t get to choose
Sometimes
It is ours to lose

Were it less than life and miles that ran between us two
Were we given more than faith to latch our future to
Then when its dark and what we once knew
is gone and fading fast
Were it that the last one I Loved was the one that loved me last.

If she asks
Let her know
It’s in the past
Let her go
Sometimes
Wounds don’t get to heal
This pain is always yours to feel

      Usually I’m not sure what is going on exactly until I clear up the noise and put it into words.
