The Love That We Let Go

Lyrics

Verse 1
I still see your dress on that old oak chair
Coffee ring ghost on the countertop there
We painted this house with our plans and our prayers
Now I'm packing them up with your earrings and flares

Chorus
So here's to the love that we let go
To the hands we held then had to fold
To the wild young hearts that tried to grow
In a field that never took our hope
I won't chase your shadow down this road
I'm learning to bless what hurt me most
I'm raising a glass to the love, to the love that we let go

Verse 2
You wanted a ring, I wanted to roam
You needed a porch light, I kept leaving home
We danced around truth till the record ran slow
Two stubborn, soft fools who both needed to know

Chorus
So here's to the love that we let go
To the hands we held then had to fold
To the wild young hearts that tried to grow
In a field that never took our hope
I won't chase your shadow down this road
I'm learning to bless what hurt me most
I'm raising a glass to the love, to the love that we let go

Bridge
Maybe in some quiet town
We make it work, we settle down
But here and now, the story's changed
Your name's a song I have to fade

Chorus
So here's to the love that we let go
To the hands we held then had to fold
To the wild young hearts that tried to grow
In a field that never took our hope
I won't chase your shadow down this road (no more)
I'm learning to bless what hurt me most
I'm raising a glass to the love, to the love that we let go (oh)
