Go (song #125)

Go

Oh-whoa-whoa
Why do we have to let
Go?-whoa-whoa
Why do we have to go?

A simple post upon a message board
Takes me back to a time when you knew what life was for 
A face, a name, the memories of times gone by
Now a loss, a long and unexpected goodbye

Oh-whoa-whoa
Why do we have to let
Go?-whoa-whoa
Why do we have to go?

So many moments in isolation
Passing us by and our complications 
Hindsight's 20/20 but it's just not the same
Win or lose the score doesn't (can't?) tell you who won the game

Oh-whoa-whoa
Why do we have to let
Go?-whoa-whoa
Why do we have to go?

I’m only left with this heavy heart
I don’t know where to begin much less how to start
I can only now recall your moving art
Now it seems you only get to go so far
You’re going (you've gone?) so far
Away

Oh-whoa-whoa
Why do we have to let
Go?-whoa-whoa
Why do we have to go?
