"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
