Let It Go

Lady Luck has never been on my side
I've had my share of broken hopes
It's been like a game of double-dutch
And my feet keep catching the ropes

I couldn't get in the rhythm
Maybe I had misread the signs
I thought they were pointing me one way
Thought they told me to follow the lines

Somehow I steered off course
But I taught myself along the way
I taught my heart to beware of boys like them
That if I wasn't patient, I would pay

Then you came along
With that amazing smile
Could it be that I was missing you
When you were in front of me all the while?

For a few moments it was bliss
I was sure that I had been wrong before
That I couldn't hurt like I did
Everything would be mended that was tore

You would smile at me
And how could I resist?
We laughed and we were carefree
Then something happened in the midst

First you faintly showed it
And I suspected something going wrong
"Don't let this happen, please." I told my heart
And then I felt everything break before long

I cried a few tears for you
Told myself it could never have been
That it would have come sooner or later
My dreams of us would never begin

It can take some time to realize
No matter how hard you try
Never saying hello
Makes it easier to say goodbye
