Letting Go of Hanging On

We've been down this road before

And it never gets us nowhere

You start heading for the door

And then I cry

Well I ain't going there no more

Boy you do what you got to

I don't feel no need for stopping you this time

I'm letting go of hanging on

We both know the ties that bind us ain't that strong

I think it's time I cut the line

And get on with this life of mine

We've been fighting this white-knuckle ride too long

Letting go of hanging on

Would it help you get on with it

If I went a little crazy

And started breaking dishes on the wall?

Or give me just a minute

That's all that it would take me

And I'm sure that I could make one teardrop fall

Does that help at all?

I'm letting go of hanging on

We both know the ties that bind us ain't that strong

I think it's time I cut the line

And get on with this life of mine

We've been fighting this white-knuckle ride too long

Letting go of hanging on

So stand up tall and dry your eyes

Baby boy you'll be alright

When you see me getting smaller

Then you'll know

I'm letting go of hanging on

We both know the ties that bind us ain't that strong

I think it's time I cut the line

You go your way, I'll go mine

We've been fighting this white-knuckle ride too long

Letting go of hanging on

I'm letting go

Ooh
