It's not as easy as it seems To change the role you play When you've worn out the dream What is left to say? When the mirror stops lying And the flames draw down And you're left there wondering how To figure it out alone You can fix the frame You can clean the glass But the colors that faded Aren't coming back How do you know When the time has come to let it go When everything you are Is all that you can do And then Where do you go When the cracks you hid start to show When everything you were Is nothing you can do It's not as easy as it seems To change the lie you play When you've torn out the seam What is left to say? When the anchor stops sinking And the lights draw down And you're left there wondering how To turn it all back alone You can fix the frame You can clean the glass But the colors that faded Aren't coming back How do you know When the time has come to let it go When everything you are Is all that you can do And then Where do you go When the cracks you hid start to show When everything you were Is nothing you can do Nothing you can do will stop The shame from showing through Once the curtain falls And all you are is you... How do you know When the time has come to let it go When everything you are Is all that you can do And then Where do you go When the cracks you hid start to show When everything you were Is nothing you can do How do you know When the time has come to let it go When everything you are Is all that you can do And then Where do you go When the cracks you hid start to show When everything you were Is nothing you can do
