Letting Go
Letting Go
ELIZA
(stanza)
Life’s like a movie
Up on this big screen
Every night
Beautiful dreaming
But in the end still
The movie stops
(bridge)
All that is left, is people crouched in darkness
Pretending life is a show
Pretending they’ll never go
(stanza)
I have been thinking
About a future
Over the seas
Almost saved up enough now
To buy my ticket
And then I’ll leave
(bridge)
I’ll find a school, with something new to teach me
About the world and its seas
The things that I haven’t seen
JOSHUA
(chorus)
You can fly if you desire
But when you come back I’ll be waiting here
ELIZA
I wish I could find an answer
But I don’t know if I’ll ever return
(chorus 2)
Josh, don’t you see
I’ve tried valiantly
But I can’t find a place for you and me
(chorus)
You will find somebody new
And she’ll deserve you more than I do
A girl who’ll stay here with you
And she’ll deserve you more than I do
JOSHUA
I, I know that it’s not true
This can’t be the road we have to choose
I can’t find the words to say
When the world I know is slipping away
JOSHUA & ELIZA
(chorus 2)
You’ll find happiness (You can’t just leave me)
In someone’s caress (Won’t you believe me)
In time you’ll see it’s for the best
(chorus 2)
You know we can’t last (Can’t be without you)
We’re on different paths (You know I love you)
And we’ll both just have to let go
