lyrics

I remember the night I first saw you
A ray of light in a dark dingy room
My wounds were fresh, his anger unaddressed
But I’d moved on to look on for something new
Fast forward time and now the turn is mine
To lose a battle we’ve been fighting to long
You pushed and you pulled on a chest full of gold
And buried the truth with the lies

I think you knew what you wanted
But you chose a different way, what can I say
I wish you the best

It’s hard to write this song
Hard for me to move on
But I’ve got to stay my course
and let you dance with the wind

I changed in ways I didn’t want to
Though change and growth go side by side
Maybe I’m just so damn moldable
I’m a bird, if you’re a bird babe

There is no line I can draw
No singular reason for why you do what you do
You made me feel so high
Then you yanked me down when you left town

And it’s hard to write this song
Hard for me to move on
But I’ve got to stay my course
and let you dance with the wind
And it’s hard to write this song
Hard for me to move on
But I’ve got to stay my course
and let you dance with the wind

You can’t say that I didn’t try babe
I hurt your pride and then you broke me down inside
And we both said we bent over backwards
But it’s a give and take and this ship can’t break down

I think you knew what you wanted
But you chose a different way, what can I say
I wish you the best

We’ve got to live with the choices we made
And I put too much trust in you
I’m gonna take care of myself for a while
I can’t just nod and smile, nod and smile nod and smile
Ooooo

And it’s hard to write this song
Hard for me to move on
But I’ve got to stay my course
and let you dance with the wind
And let you dance with the wind
Let you dance
Let you dance with the wind
Let you dance with the wind
