Slowly Letting Go
Verse 1
A letter from you was layin' on my pillow when I got home.
It said "You gotta live your life, you're better off out there on your own."
Pre-chorus
Well, I kept holdin' on when the wind began to blow.
I should've known, you were slowly letting go.
Chorus
You said you never told me so, cause I didn't really wanna know.
You were slowly letting go.
I think of how we used to be and I think of how you're treating me.
You were slowly letting go, letting go.
Verse 2
Looking back I see the signs like a cloud that darkened up my sky.
In a wave of foolish pride, all we had washed out with the tide.
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Bridge
Every word that's on that page, you couldn't tell me to my face.
Was all this time a waste?
Chorus Tag
This letter from you was layin' on my pillow when I got home.
