Chorus (1:13-1:21) "The Day I Let Go" Lyrics by Stone Sour Verse A) What a waste of life this is, Every altercation I permit Is like a quiet sigh From a man resigned to a place that was never his And the hours are long, even in a world where I belong Every second stays, every minute counts against my sentence Chorus A) I fall....I had to let you go Verse B) What i tried to accomplish died Every offer of faith I had to fight And a dream unfolds The moon is cold because the sun left early And the days go by, even when my conscience just won't try Every week decays, every month is rotten I AM FORGOTTEN Chorus B) I fall...I had to let you go I fall...My mind is all i know I fall...the table turns to dust I fall...today, I let go of my trust Verse C) What a waste of time I am, every ounce of life is just dead flesh I can't forget, but then again you can't let me remember When I try to speak, every word I say comes out so bleak I don't want this, I don't want you But I DON'T WANT ANYONE I don't want anyone Chorus C) I fall...I had to let you go I fall...My mind is all i know I fall...the table turns to dust I fall...today, I let go of my trust Lyrics by Stone Sour www.TAB6.com
