I want you to know

I'm leaving to let you go

One day we'll walk upon

Streets of gold.

I don't remember seeing fear in your eyes

When you were fading

The day we said our goodbyes

It's easy to say that there's a reason for this

Much harder to know

That what we say is true.

Everything we hold could someday slip away.

I want you to know

I'm leaving to let you go

And someday we'll walk upon

The streets of gold.

Running through your veins was a slow-ticking clock

Counting down the days

And no one could make it stop

All of the time that it takes to figure it out

Could be the moments

That you can't live without.

Everything we hold could someday slip away.

I want you to know

I'm leaving to let you go

And someday we'll walk upon

The streets of gold.

The trouble with love is that it comes to an end

I've got a feeling I'm gonna find you again

Just in a place where love can't die.
