Intro: Verse Once there was a melody That came from the depths of me That's how it starts... It came from another place Trail I can never trace No matter how hard And it's strange how the story's yours now As it leaves my voice There was not a choice But to release you... There was a time Oh, to release you When you were mine Oh, to release you And now you're free Oh, to release you 'Cause I released you Oh, to release you There was a time Oh, to release you When you were mine Oh, to release you And now you're free Oh, to release you 'Cause I released you Oh, to release you Instrumental Verse Once there was too much too say Though I should've find a way And that's how it starts Sorrows and ecstasy Grow all these words to me No matter how hard And it's strange how The story's yours now As it leaves my voice There was not a choice But to release you There was a time Oh, to release you When you were mine Oh, to release you And now you're free Oh, to release you 'Cause I released you To release you There was a time Oh, to release you When you were mine Oh, to release you And now you're free Oh, to release you 'Cause I released you To release you Instrumental Break And now you lay In another's mind... And you look like a stranger to me And now you lay In another's mind... And you look like a stranger to me To me, yeah There was a time Oh, to release you When you were mine Oh, to release you And now you're free Oh, to release you 'Cause I released you Oh, to release you There was a time Oh, to release you When you were mine Oh, to release you And now you're free Oh, to release you 'Cause I released you To release you
