We hold on when we should let go Rewinding only to find This should have ended long ago We dig in our heels when we should move on Going tit for tat Fighting over this and that When people mean more than things And things, Well, they’re just things See in order to get you’ve got to give It’s time to live and let live Start with now Not with what if And choose to forgive

I’ve been holding my breath Praying you would pass out Hurting myself Thinking you would lash out But today I decided to take the trash out And declutter my soul It’s time for me to cash out Too much was invested Now relationships have been tested But I choose to pass ‘Cause love never fails And truth always, always prevails

It’s time to set sail On tomorrow Instead of replaying the past Yesterday and its sorrow Weren’t meant to last Hate is expensive And I can’t afford to be bitter The price is too high I choose to live and not die Cancelling the same debt Paid to set me free Owing no one anything but love

Love unconditionally

We hold on when we should let go Rewinding only to find This should have ended long ago We dig in our heels when we should move on Going tit for tat Fighting over this and that When people mean more than things And things, Well, they’re just things See in order to get you’ve got to give It’s time to live and let live Start with now Not with what if And choose to forgive
