Marie Hines - Long Way To Letting Go lyrics

Funny how the little things Can stake a claim in memory And cheat time to last a hundred years I swore that I'd be strong enough To drop my heart and pick it up And make the great escape without a tear I'm so naive And I hold my breath a little too long And you were quick to carry on And I'm learning in the afterglow It's a long way A long way to letting go Waiting on eventually Where you'll become my history And I'll begin to rebuild the walls I'll forget to mention you And wish that you were lonely too And never ache, missing your calls I'm so naive And I hold my breath a little too long And you were quick to carry on And I'm learning in the afterglow It's a long way A long way to letting go Was looking easier ideally And I falter at my hesitation's end Close my eyes as I begin the countdown, Reach for breath, I'm counting down But I hesitate at ten And I hold my breath a little too long And you were quick to carry on And I'm learning in the afterglow It's a long way A long way to letting go
