For a few minutes 

we were all I asked for 

you were there with me 

by the lake, having coffee 

my hands now are empty 

a couple hours ago you were walking down the stairs with me 

before i set you free 

Now you know 

I love you enough to let you go 

and not let the world know 

how much it hurt, how I broke 

I love you enough to let you go 

for you to grow old with the one 

you say you know 

is the one for you
