When you said goodbye But you just can't leave When you hold so tight That your hands they bleed So take these lungs 'Cause you were my air I keep breathing in and out But you're not there But we never think that we'll run out of time Always believed we can keep it alive Didn't know then you were everything I'm haunted by all the words that I said Waking up in a hospital bed I didn't know then you were everything ♪ When the time comes you gotta let it go ♪ When the time comes you gotta let it go Every star that lights up the sky Will always burn the brightest as they die But we never think that we'll run out of time Always believed we can keep it alive Didn't know then you were everything I'm haunted by all the words that I said Waking up in a hospital bed I didn't know then you were everything ♪ When the time comes you gotta let it go ♪ When the time comes you gotta let it go When the fire dies and there's no light And I see you for the last time, I I have to let it go When I lose to the skyline Can't follow you to the other side, I I have to let it go ♪ When the time comes you gotta let it go When your whole life depends on these hands that you hold When the time comes you gotta let it go
