The Art of Letting Go

To listen to The Art of Letting Go, click here



















Well the last time that I saw her was Toronto in ’09
She heard that I was there and ran away
I called up all her friends and they told me she was fine
And yes they knew about her get-away

I said I just want to see her, I just want to say hello
I’m not here to ask her to come back
In matters of love she taught me everything I know
But there’s still one more key lesson that I lack

You see I don’t know the right words when it’s time to say goodbye
I can’t deal with hearing the word no
And she may not be successful, but please ask her to try
I need to learn the art of letting go

Well I hunted her all over in the bars where we first met
In the clubs and pubs and restaurants as well
This broken heart of mine wasn’t giving up just yet
I’d made that vow and promise to myself

I called up her mother, then I called up her sister
They begged me to please leave her alone
I said Just ask her to call me, just tell her that I’ve missed her
They both replied by hanging up the phone

You see I don’t know the right words when it’s time to say goodbye
I can’t deal with hearing the word no
And she may not be successful, but please ask her to try
I need to learn the art of letting go

Now it’s five full years later, I still cannot forget her
Her picture’s still hanging on my wall
One of my good friends told me last week that he had met her
And she hardly ever thinks of me at all

He said she’s someone’s wife now, she’s moved on in her life now
She’s got kids now, and a new career
It’s time to put the past behind yourself at last
I told him that was not what I needed to hear

You see I don’t know the right words when it’s time to say goodbye
I can’t deal with hearing the word no
And she may not be successful, but please ask her to try
I need to learn the art of letting go
