As I catch myself again in distant wonder
But then one glimpse of you just knocks me back
So who am I to sink so low and not go under
But then I try
To separate the you now from the you I knew before
And it's a waste of time
To think that it could ever be like the way it was before
But man she's got heaven's eyes
A small town girl bout' five foot five
With a heart that yearns for something that I don't know
And while she's moved on to another man
I try to do the best I can just to let it go and blow into the wind
So I let it go
Let it blow into the wind
So I let it
Tried to save myself today from drowning once more
But the weight of all your lies has left me breathless
And though I tell a different story to myself
The truth is girl you wanted someone else
That's when I try
To separate the you now from the you I knew before
But man she's got heaven's eyes
A small town girl bout' five foot five
With a heart that yearns for something that I don't know
And while she's moved on to another man
I try to do the best I can just to let it go and blow into the wind
Because man she's got heaven's eyes
A small town girl bout' five foot five
With a heart that yearns for something that I don't know
And while she's moved on to another man
I try to do the best I can just to let it go and blow into the wind
So I let it go
Let it blow into the wind
So I let it go
Let it blow into the wind
So I let go
Let it blow into the wind
So I let it
