lesson in letting go

every day

i think about the things i shouldn't say

i go to call you but i hesitate

'cause i know we shouldn't communicate

i guess that we both had two different plans

we let what could have been slip through our hands

you know i'd do it all over again

but we don't get to choose the way it ends

i take it as a lesson in letting go

so if you find another

hope you treat him better

and if you're gonna love him

hope that it's forever

i take it as a blessing 'cause now i know

that when i find another

gonna treat her better

and if i'm gonna love her

hope that it's forever

apologize

you know we've done it way too many times

and now i see it from the other side

just thankful that i got to call you mine

i guess that we both had two different plans

we let what could have been slip through our hands

you know i'd do it all over again

but we don't get to choose the way it ends

i take it as a lesson in letting go

so if you find another

hope you treat him better

and if you're gonna love him

hope that it's forever

i take it as a blessing 'cause now i know

that when i find another

gonna treat her better

and if i'm gonna love her

hope that it's forever

i'm trying to accept that i can't lose what wasn't mine

i'm trying not to want what i can't have

i'd be lying if i said that i could keep you off my mind

i always thought that i could win you back

i take it as a lesson in letting go

so if you find another

hope you treat him better

and if you're gonna love him

hope that it's forever

i take it as a blessing 'cause now i know

that when i find another

gonna treat her better

and if i'm gonna love her

hope that it's forever
