Letting Go

Listening to every rose,
and finding out they have thorns.
I guess that's the way life goes,
from the day that we are born.
I wish i could understand,
why it just wouldn't work.
I tried to be a good man,
but all i can feel is hurt.

Left standing in the rain,
hoping to make sense of it all.
Trying to mask the pain,
and trying not to fall.
Wish i could go back in time,
and make it all turn out right.
Cause then you'd be mine,
and i wouldn't be alone tonight.

Turning the dial on the radio,
listening to every sad song.
I wish you would let me know,
just what i did so wrong.
I promised you my all,
and to keep you from harm.
I just wish you were still my girl,
right back here in my arms.

Hoping one day i can go on,
and make a new start.
Then i won't be all alone,
and have a big hole in my heart.
Listening to every rose,
and finding out they have thorns.
I guess that's the way life goes,
ever since the day that we were born.
