Verse 1 I still remember the day you walked into the room Like a sudden burst of sunlight shattering the gloom The most beautiful vision that my eyes had ever seen A living, breathing masterpiece, a captivating queen Every smile you threw my way was a anchor in my chest But I was chasing shadows, just a temporary guest Chorus And oh, it hurts to loosen up my grip To watch the finest dream I've known slowly start to slip But beauty isn't meant for hands to try and hold too tight So I’m learning how to love you from the edges of the night Yeah, I'm learning how to let you go, out of my sight Verse 2 I memorized the laughter and the way you turn your head And all the quiet promises I wish we could have said But your heart is a river flowing to a different sea And the hardest part of loving you is knowing it’s not me So I step back into the crowd, a stranger in the place Trying to find a future that doesn't feature your face Chorus And oh, it hurts to loosen up my grip To watch the finest dream I've known slowly start to slip But beauty isn't meant for hands to try and hold too tight So I’m learning how to love you from the edges of the night Yeah, I'm learning how to let you go, out of my sight Bridge It’s a quiet kind of heartbreak, a slow and steady grace To look at something perfect and walk away from the chase You deserve the world, even if it’s missing me And I deserve a heart that’s finally whole and free Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break Chorus Oh, it hurts to finally loosen up my grip To watch the finest dream I've ever known slowly start to slip But beauty isn't meant for hands to try and hold too tight So I’m learning how to love you from the edges of the night Yeah, I'm learning how to let you go, into the light Outro Into the light... The most beautiful vision I ever did see Goodbye, my love I’m setting us both free.
