letting go is not the same as losing
i just thought i’d let you know what i’ve been thinking
you can call me up though we’re not waking up together anymore
we can avoid goodbyes if some other words feel better
like “see you later”
i want to be a light in the life of everyone who knows me
am i too shy to be a diamond in the roughness of this world
where nothing’s right and nothing’s real?
can i turn the wheel?
let me heal and be healed
spin and see what comes around for you and me
turn the wheel
getting mad is not the same as fighting
but i didn’t know that so i was skeptical and spiteful
it’s not enough to find somebody who can hold you
because anything can fade until you’re left with no rescue
but i want to be a light...
letting go is not the same as losing
i find comfort in this
you still think it’s just confusing
let’s turn the wheel
can we turn the wheel?
let’s turn the wheel
turn the wheel
