I held you for a moment in my hands The moment with you slipped away like sand through my fingers now In front of me a choice I have to make To carry on or simply fade away, I lose you either way I'd like to say that it was easy, it was hard To say goodbye, I thought that I would die Letting go of you, was so hard to do And I thought that it would kill me But I made it through somehow And I'm so much stronger now I gave to you my love and my respect But I could never make you love me back, I denied it so I grew bitter watching you grow cold My life became your prison, took it's toll I decided like a bird that's trapped inside a gilded cage It's right to set it free, hurts to watch it fly away Letting go of you, was so hard to do And I thought that it would kill me But I made it through somehow And I'm so much stronger now, so much stronger now Letting go of you, was so hard to do And I thought that it would kill me But I made it through somehow And I'm so much stronger now Oh I'm so much stronger now Yes I'm so much stronger now
