Verse 1:
We never said the words, but we didn't have to
Midnight talks that felt so right, like I was there with you
Lovers in a time forgotten, where did we go?
Now I'm grasping memories, I have to let you go
Pre-Chorus:
I hear your voice in every song, the echo of your laugh
There's a place where maybe, someday, our paths will cross back
Chorus:
I'm letting go of what we never had
But holding on to dreams that make me sad
A future where maybe, you and I will find
A way to be together, heart and mind
Verse 2:
Miles apart but close in heart, every night I knew
We spoke of all our dreams and plans, as if they'd come true
In a world so full of maybe's, I was holding tight
To a love that felt so certain, somewhere deep inside
Pre-Chorus:
I hear your voice in every song, the echo of your laugh
There's a place where maybe, someday, our paths will cross back
Chorus:
I'm letting go of what we never had
But holding on to dreams that make me sad
A future where maybe, you and I will find
A way to be together, heart and mind
Bridge:
It's hard to free the soul from what might never be
But there's a glimmer of us, that's enough for me
Chorus:
I'm letting go of what we never had
But holding on to dreams that make me sad
A future where maybe, you and I will find
A way to be together, heart and mind
Outro:
So here's to letting go, and holding on
In this dance of love, where we've never gone wrong
I'll keep the hope alive, dim but not gone
Maybe someday, somehow, we'll belong

letting go of your first love, who, although you weren't in a relationship, still acted like you were in one. this was a long distance relationship, you also still want to hold on to that mild chance that, maybe in the future, it may work out
