If we could turn back the clocks
And just do this right
Instead of building foundation on a lie
That kept us hidden, that kept us safe
Brought down the walls and took you away

I would have given everything to watch you grow
Into the person that you never thought you could be
But let's not dwell on the things we'll never know
Fight through the tears, so your eyes can see

We both know, that we've reached the end of this road
You may think that this is easy for me, 
but I'll have you know

I fight myself night and day to push you out
Hours creep by as I [bad word] through my doubt
Just let her go
 [bad word] 

Did you honestly believe
That I would just walk away?
Without hoping you [bad word] back to me

All our thoughts have been said
But I still feel you in my head
This ghost is eating me alive

And I know this is right 
But it feels so wrong(2)
Letting go of what we've waited for so long
I can't pretend that I don't know the [bad word] (that I don't know the [bad word] 
This choice we've made is what's best for you

If life was perfect then there'd be no uncertainty
But insecurity is what makes you feel alive
What is the answer?
 [bad word] x2

Did you honestly believe
That I would just walk away?
Without hoping you [bad word] back to me

All our thoughts have been said
But I still feel you in my head
This ghost is eating me alive

And I will always hold you close 
But only in my heart 
as far as you know, we're oceans apart

I swear, that I won't look back/I swear, that there's nothing more for me here

Letting go of what, we've waited for so long/I'll move on, I will grow
