Ready To Let Go
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sun went down, sun went down, over Pompeii
On both sides the vow was broken
Oh my my, I'm the one
Tryin' to hide this damage done
One day, all our secrets will be spoken
As we slow danced, I became your statue, frozen
Times I wonder, are we just a puff of smoke? Yeah
Underneath this bed of ashes, still withholding everything
Like we were never close
Don't you worry baby
No sense tryin' to change it
I'ma strike these matches
Never had control
I'm ready to let go, no
Was I fooling myself
I'ma spread these ashes
Never had control
I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready to let go
Sun went down, sun went down, over Pompeii
On holy ground our vows were broken
We made up, we broke bread
I was blue, your dress was red
Ain't it strange
We both knew this day was coming
As we slow danced, I became your statue frozen
Times I wonder, are we just a puff of smoke? Yeah
Underneath this bed of ashes, still withholding everything
Like we were never close
Don't you worry baby
No sense trying to change it
I'ma strike these matches
Never had control
I'm ready to let go, no
Was I fooling myself
I'ma spread these ashes
Never had control
I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready to let go
Don't you worry baby
No sense trying to change it
I'ma strike these matches
Never had control
I'm ready to let go, no
Was I fooling myself
I'ma spread these ashes
Never had control
I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready to let go
