"Letting Go" lyrics

Let's hope for better weather
We said forever

If I had known all the things I know
I would probably just go
Somewhere sympathetic, sheltered from the cold
Let the distance grow
But hold on to fleeting hope
That the light from all my failures guides you home

I could have make a perfect window inside your perfect little house
In Rodanthe, where you'd look through me and only think about yourself

Let's hope for better weather, and walk our separate ways
We said forever, but you couldn't stay
Let's hope for better weather, and a life of yesterdays
We said forever, but I never asked you to stay

And then you said, it was in my head
Lying next to you in bed
Turns out I was up all night by myself instead
Drenched in sweat
Soak the sheets with my regret
Lapsed from wanted to only haunted by words unsaid

I could have make a perfect window inside your perfect little house
In Rodanthe, where you'd look through me and only think about yourself

Let's hope for better weather, and walk our separate ways
We said forever, but you couldn't stay
Let's hope for better weather, and a life of yesterdays
We said forever, but I never asked you to stay

Rodanthe please release your hold on me
'Cause I don't need these hazy memories
I'm letting go

Let's hope for better weather, and walk our separate ways
We said forever, but you couldn't stay
Let's hope for better weather, and a life of yesterdays
We said forever, but I never asked you to stay
