Sometimes you find out what you wanted Isn’t really what you need. And the dream and all it’s promise Was never meant to be. All your hope and desperation Won’t make it like it was. You believe the pain will never pass. Believe me...In time...It does. You’ve gotta know when love is over. You’ve gotta learn to carry on. And with the world upon your shoulders You walk away when hope is gone. When your golden road has reached the end You find the strength to start again. You’ll know There’s a time for love...and a time for letting go. When you’re standing tall tomorrow Looking back at yesterday Through the memory of your sorrow. How the dawn was so far away? You’ll be far beyond the shadows Where hearts can learn to shine. And you’ll realize The endless night was only a moment in time. You’ve gotta know when love is over. You’ve gotta learn to carry on. And with the world upon your shoulders You walk away when hope is gone. When your golden road has reached the end You find the strength to start again. You’ll know There’s a time for love...and a time for letting go. The night is long. The night is cold. With nothing to believe in. Just hold on. ‘Cause life goes on. Your new day is waiting. Let go...and let it begin. You’ve gotta know when love is over. You’ve gotta learn to carry on. And with the world upon your shoulders You find the strength when hope is gone. When your golden road has reached the end You find the strength to start again. You’ll know There’s a time for love...and a time for letting go. Time for letting go There’s a time for letting go. You’ve gotta know when love is over. You’ve gotta learn to carry on...carry on. You’ve gotta know.
