Lyrics

I’m trying my best to forget you
But life won’t seem to let you go
And secretly I pray
Each morning when I wake
You won’t be the one who moves on

You know I spend my nights thinking
What could’ve happened if I’d given more
And I’m waiting for the day
And watching moments fade
Sometimes life moves too slow

Cause fireflies only die
When you put them in a bottle
So set it down
Son look up
And watch them glow
Cause soon they’ll all be gone
And when the morning comes
You’ll know some things in life
Are better when you let them go

She told me I need to grow up
And lord only knows I’m scared
Cause grownups always seem
Caught in between
Their response, and abilities

I’ve been awake for every hour
Every day chasing dreams till I found you
I knew life was hard but I thought that
We’d make it somewhere by now
It seems like each time that I catch up with life
I’m just one step behind
And the world keeps spinning round

Cause fireflies only die
When you put them in a bottle
So set it down
Son look up
And watch them glow
Cause soon they’ll all be gone
And when the morning comes
You’ll know some things in life
Are better when you let them go

Oh I let her go
I let her go

Cause soon they’ll all be gone
And when the morning comes
You’ll know some things in life
Are better when you let them go
