Sometimes I wonder
Can she see me now?
And did she understand
The why or the how?
We could not stay
We'd not survive
With her on my back
My heart in overdrive

I had to let her go
I had to let her go
I had to let her go

So I let her down
And moved in the night
So at least one of us
Could make it to the light
Does she know I'm sorry?
And can she forgive
That she was left behind
So that I could live?

I had to let her go
I had to let her go
I had to let her go

I had to let her go
I had to say goodbye
I had to let her float away
Into the deep blue sky

Sometimes I wonder
Can she see me now?
Will she understand
The why or the how?
