Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

– – – --

  – – – - --

I held you for a moment in my hands

 The moment with you slipped away like sand

Through my fingers now

In front of me a choice I have to make

 To carry on or simply fade away

I lose you either way

 I'd like to say that it was easy, it was hard

 To say goodbye, I thought that I would die

Chorus

Letting go of you, was so hard to do

 And I thought that it would kill me but I made

 It through somehow, and I'm so much stronger now

I gave to you my love and my respect

 But I could never make you love me back

I denied it so

I grew bitter watching you grow cold

 My life became your prison, took it's toll

I decided

Like a bird that's trapped

Inside a gilded cage

It's right to set it free,

 Hurts to watch it

 Fly away

REPEAT CHORUS
