I

Something came along

And stopped me right in my tracks

I'd tell you what it was

But I can't be exact



II

But it filled me with strength

And it held me intact

When it blessed me with courage

And shamed me to act



III

I'm unable to establish

The moment in time

When swallowed in rhetoric

And dressed up in rhyme



IV

I went and faced the music

And all that entailed

The right on my side gave

Wind to my sails



CHORUS

When it's time, let it go,

You've got to let it go.

When the time has come,

you have to let it go



V

You took me for granted

You took me for mad

And you know you took advantage

Of the trust that I had



VI

It shocked me to notice

The mess I was in

It hurt me to find out

The fool that I'd been



VII

I know you always

Underestimated me

There's more to this girl

Than the girl (that) you see



VIII

You thought that when you'd gone

I'd be fallin' apart

But there's more to this woman

Than a woman's heart

But there's more to this woman

Than a woman's heart



REPEAT CHORUS



IX

There's a time to be faithful

There's a time to be brave

I was trying to rescue

Struggling to save



X

Every little piece of

What was left to me here

Every little shred

Of all I held dear



XI

Until piece by piece

And bit by bit

I gathered them together

And I made them all fit



XII

Until standing tall

And feeling strong

I'm facing the future

And my life goes on

And then life still goes on
