Marie Hines - Long Way To Letting Go Lyrics
Funny how the little thingsCan stake a claim in memoryAnd cheat time to last a hundred yearsI swore that I'd be strong enoughTo drop my heart and pick it upAnd make the great escape without a tearSo nieveAnd I hold my breath a little too longAnd you were quick to carry onAnd I'm learning in the afterglowIt's a long wayA long way to letting goWaiting on eventuallyWhere you'll become my historyAnd I'll begin to rebuild the wallI'll forget to mention youAnd wish that you were lonely tooAnd never ache, missing your callI'm so neiveAnd I hold my breath a little too longAnd you were quick to carry onAnd I'm learning in the afterglowIt's a long wayA long way to letting goWas looking easier ideallyAnd I falter at my hesitation's endClose my eyes as I begin the countdown,Reach for breath, I'm counting downBut I hesitate at ten.And I hold my breath a little too longAnd you were quick to carry onAnd I'm learning in the afterglowIt's a long wayA long way to letting go
