lyrics

They say the hardest part is letting go
but what do they know about letting go?
I went out swimming but my heart was a stone
so I sank
I built it up just to watch it fall
I laid beside her all through the fall
we changed colors as aspen grew tall
I went gray
my heart was an ocean I got married by a lake
my blood was poison I was many things
and through many lives and many names
the best was you
My hands were shaking as I sat and prayed
please god do something, don't just take and take and take
I was a father and a son they say
I was a fire that followed through
they say the hardest part is facing truth
but what do they know about facing truth?
I’m outer space and the lake and lost youth
and the rain
I built it up just to watch it fall
But the biggest nothing will come to call
we change shapes and lose it all
It’s so brief
my heart was an ocean I got married by a lake
my blood was poison I was many things
and through many lives and many names
the best was you
My hands were shaking as I sat and prayed
I was a penny beneath a train
I was a lover and adored they say
I was a ghost just passing through
