Letting Go

.My first glimpse of something outside
 "my window to the world"
 we were so much alike...
 Cut down in the prime of your life
 watching you slip away
 but not the world that you gave me
 That phone call brought me back in a flash
 to the place I remember seeing you last
 at least the way I paint it in my mind
 regrets I thought I'd left behind
 We always left it as "I'll see you around"
 And every chance I had to do so
 getting hard to think about
 it's the letting go
 for good, that before now
 I never understood
 You answered
 every "Why" with "Why Not"
 you held everyone so close
 and never let us drop
 but as time went on
 missed messages were failed attempts
 to reconnect
 That phone call brought me back in a flash
 to the place I remember seeing you last
 at least the way I paint it in my mind
 regrets I thought I'd left behind
 We always left it as "I'll see you around"
 And every chance I had to do so
 getting hard to think about
 it's the letting go
 for good, that before now
 I never understood
 You answered
 ♪
 every "Why" with "Why Not"
 you held everyone so close
 and never let us drop
 Can't help but
 apologize again
 for things that
 weren't my fault in the end
 but knowing that you're proud
 of where I've been
 Always on my mind
 until we meet again
 That phone call brought me back in a flash
 to the place I remember seeing you last
 at least the way I paint it in my mind
 regrets I thought I'd left behind
 We always left it as "I'll see you around"
 And every chance I had to do so
 getting hard to think about
 it's the letting go
 for good, that before now
 I never understood
 We always left it as "I'll see you around"
 And every chance I had to do so
 getting hard to think about
 it's the letting go
 for good, that before now
 I never understood
