Intro

Verse 1

Put away the pictures.

Put away the memories.

 I put over and over

Through my tears

I've held them till I'm blind

They kept my hope alive

 As if somehow that I'd keep you here

Refrain

Once you believed in a love forever more?

How do you leave it in a drawer?

Chorus

Now here it comes, the hardest part of all

Unchain my heart that's holding on

How do I start to live my life alone?

Guess I'm just learning,

Learning the art of letting go.

Verse 2

Try to say it's over

Say the word goodbye.

 But each time it catches in my throat

Your still here in me

And I can't set you free

 So I hold on to what I wanted most

Refrain 2

Maybe someday we'll be friend's forever more

Wish I could open up that door

Chorus

Now here it comes, the hardest part of all

Unchain my heart that's holding on

How do I start to live my life alone?

Guess I'm just learning,

Learning the art of letting go.

Bridge

Watching us fade

What can I do?

But try to make it through

 the pain of one more day

Without you

Where do I start, to live my life alone?

I guess I'm learning, only learning,

Learning the art of letting go.
