Put away the pictures, put away the memories  I put over and over through my tears  I've held them 'til I'm blind, they kept my hope alive  As if somehow that I'd keep you here  Once you believe in a love forevermore  How do you leave it in a drawer    Now here it comes, the hardest part of all  Unchain my heart that's holding on  How do I start to live my life alone  Guess I'm just learning, learning the art of letting go    Try to say it's over, say the word good bye  But each time it catches in my throat  You're still here in me and I can't set you free  So I hold on to what I wanted most  Maybe someday we'll be friends forevermore  Wish I could open up that door    Now here it comes the hardest part of all  Unchain my heart that's holding on  How do I start to live my life alone  Guess I'm just learning, learning the art of letting go    Watching us fade, what can I do  But try to make it through the pain  Of one more day without you    Where do I start to live my life alone  I guess I'm learning, only learning  Learning the art of letting go
