lyrics

A stranger's words on a colleague's wrist;
I felt the interruption, but I could not resist,
'Cause I know when a message is dying to take control.

She spoke frankly, and without remorse
Of the kinds of transgressions that direct our course
To the moments when someone shoots life back in your soul.

This is it, this is how we meet,
This is everything as it's s'pposed to be.
This is all we get; this is all we need.
This my choosing to let it be.

I'd be deceiving if I didn't come clean
And admit I've been stuck in the rut down between
The life that I'm living and the one that I think I need.

It's far from perfect, and this isn't fair,
But you weren't brought this far to live in despair,
Please, Darling, think twice over which urges you feed.

This is it, this is how we meet,
This is everything as it's s'pposed to be.
This is all we get; this is all we need.
This my choosing to let it be.

Sometimes the purpose behind all the pain
Is so we can find out if they love like they claim,
And if they choose to leave you, choose to let them leave.

I've let my miracles pass in the night,
So I'm tearing my bandages, ready to fight,
For the person I long for, the one I deserve to be.

This is it, this is how we meet,
This is everything as it's s'pposed to be.
This is all we get; this is all we need.
This my choosing to let it be.

This is it, there's no turning around.
You can run at the horizon or straight into the ground.
If you don't choose to rise up, you can bet they'll tear you down.
Hold fast to the pieces of hope that you found.
