It’s been a long summer,
feels like everything changed.
Closed a door opened another,
found a hint of purpose on the way.
And I got to see,
my old friends a lot,
they really helped to fix
my broken heart.
But still it’s a long way to go.
And still sometimes I feel lost.
Settle down,
take a deep breath and let go.
Because sometimes your heart is a mess
and you just have to hold.
Settle down,
take a deep breath and let go.
Because sometimes your heart is a mess
and you just have to hold.
I was tired of dreaming
and then I found you.
You gave me a reason to change who I was
and to start over new.
But still it’s a long way to go.
And still sometimes I feel lost.
Settle down,
take a deep breath and let go.
Because sometimes your heart is a mess
and you just have to hold.
Settle down,
take a deep breath and let go.
Because sometimes your heart is a mess
and you just have to hold.
You just have to hold.
Settle down,
take a deep breath and let go.
Because sometimes your heart is a mess
and you just have to hold.
