When They Walk Away (Let Them Go)

Don't make excuses
for the ones
who leave.
Just wish them well
and let them walk away.
Don't chase the dreams
you wanted to
believe.
Don't write another song
to make them
stay.
When they walk away,
just let them go.
Wish them well
and let them go.
Don't cling to every
tender word
they said.
Don't search for answers
you will never find.
Let fading dreams of yesterday
be laid to rest
and leave the ache of loving them
behind.
When they walk away,
just let them go.
Don't make excuses
for the ones who leave.
Just wish them well
and let them go.
Don't let goodbye
become a long farewell.
Remember all the good
along the way.
Forgive the ones you loved
and wish them well.
And let them take the road
they chose that day.
Don't make excuses
for the ones
who leave.
When they walk away,
just let them go!
Wish them well.
And let them go.
Mm. Mm.
