The First To Let Go
(Kristyn Osborn)
In my meager defense I have tried to make sense
Of the chaos that clutters my mind
You could nail to my soul every reason to go
But the reason to stay I would find
'Cause there's no resolution or clear cut conclusion
As I'm caught between the ebb and flow
But for you I'll discover the will to recover
For you I'll be first to let go
I'm not his I'm not yours I'm not mine anymore
Somehow the silver lining was torn
And we won't get too far with the door Just ajar
Only whispers keeping us warm
'Cause there's no resolution or clear cut conclusion
As I'm caught between the ebb and flow
But for you I'll discover the will to recover
For you I'll be first to let go
Bridge:
I'll send you a lullaby
Across the burnt orange sky
So looking to heaven you'll know
For you I let go
When I see on your face one day I've been replaced
I'll smile as I watch you fly
And say one grateful prayer for the angel who's there
And cry for the one left behind
'Cause there's no resolution or clear cut conclusion
As I'm caught between the ebb and flow
But for you I discovered the will to recover
For you I was first to let go
First to let go…

And the night is so black that the darkness cooks
And you come creeping around, making me do things I don't want to do
Can't believe that she needs my love so bad
Come sneaking around, trying to drive me mad
Busting in all my dreams, making me see things I don't want to see
'Cause you're the Green Manalishi with the two-pronged crown
All night dragging us up, or you're bringing us down
Just taking my love, and slip away
Leaving me here, trying to keep from following you
