Need to let go

It comes in like a flood
And shows off just the same
Never a warning
With no one to blame
And not even time can offer a remedy
Like a knife through my heart
A kiss to my face
Is your memory

Then I saw a face
And I swear it was you
And I miss you so much

Hey can you hear me
I need you to know
That if it's all right with you
I just need to let go
'Cause time waits for no one
Life carries on
And I'll never forget you
I just need to let go
I just need to let go

And you'll never find mercy
In the cycle of life
You can't bend the rules
'Cause everyone dies
When my boy looks at me
Like I looked at you
I'll be king of the world
If he loves me half as much
As I loved you
