[Verse 1]
This is for your wedding/funeral day
You always liked to be the center of attention
So here you are
Dressed so beautiful just like I remember
Always outshining the rest
Sun, moon, and stars
You face looks so content
As I walk to find a chair
Just a few feet away, but we're miles apart
[Chorus]
Why did I let you go?
How could I let you leave my side?
Would have been something amazing
Should have been wild
Why did I let you go?
How could I let you leave my side?
Would have been something amazing
Should have been wild and learned
[Verse 2]
I cry a lament to this day
But I realize now you're in a better place
Hands will tremble
As you're lowered down the aisle
But you won't look at me
Not so much a smile
I want to stand up and speak my peace
But I let your hollow pieces walk away
[Chorus]
Why did I let you go?
How could I let you leave my side?
Would have been something amazing
Should have been wild
Why did I let you go?
And let you leave my side?
Would have been something
Should have been wild
Why did I let you go?
How could I let you leave my side?
Would have been something amazing
Should have been wild
Why did I let you go?
How could I let you leave my side?
Should have been something
Should have been wild and learned
