(Verse)
Funny how the little things
Can stake a claim in memory
And cheat time to last a hundred years
I swore that Iâ ' 'd be strong enough
To drop my heart and pick it up
And make the great escape without a tear
Iâ ' 'm so naive
And I â â hold my breath a little too long
And you â were quick to carry on
And Iâ ' 'm â learning in the afterglow
Itâ ' 's a long way
A long way to letting go
(Verse)
Waiting on eventually
Where youâ ' 'll become my history
And Iâ ' 'll begin to rebuild the walls
And Iâ ' 'll forget to mention you
Or wish that you were lonely too
Never ache, missing your calls
Iâ ' 'm so naive
And I â â hold my breath a little too long
And you â were quick to carry on
And Iâ ' 'm â learning in the afterglow
Itâ ' 's a long way
A long way to letting go
Was looking easier ideally
And I falter at my hesitationâ ' 's end
Close my eyes as I begin the countdown,
Reach for breath, Iâ ' 'm counting down
But I hesitate at ten.
And I â â hold my breath a little too long
And you â were quick to carry on
And Iâ ' 'm â learning in the afterglow
Itâ ' 's a long way
A long way to letting go
Oooâ Oooâ letting goâ ooo
hmmm â
