The First To Let Go

(album: Knock On The Sky - 2002)

In my meager defense
I've tried to make sense
Of the chaos that clutters my mind
You could nail to my soul
Every reason to go
But the reason to stay I would find

[Chorus:]
'Cause there is no resolution
Or clear-cut conclusion
As I'm caught between the ebb and flow
But for you I'll discover
The will to recover
For you I'll be the first to let go
(The first to let go)

I'm not his, I'm not yours
I'm not mine anymore
Somehow the silver lining was torn
And we won't get too far
With the door just ajar
Only whispers keeping us warm

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge:]
I'll send you a lullaby
Across the burnt orange sky
So looking to heaven you'll know
For you I let go

When I see on your face
One day I've been replaced
I'll smile as I watch you fly
And say one grateful prayer
For the angel who's there
And cry for the one left behind

[Second Chorus]
'Cause there's no resolution
Or clear-cut conclusion
As I'm caught between the ebb and flow
But for you I discovered
The will to recover
For you I was the first to let go
The first to let go
