Why Can't We Learn to Let It Be

Copyright Jane Eamon 2002

What was it this time
Was it something that I said
And did I stick my foot in
Lose my head
It happens all the time but that don't make it right
It's a fight I'll never win

And so we'll talk and we'll talk
And we still won't get it straight
Both of us too stubborn to bend
Too inflexible to break
It's familiar ground we've walked before
There's nothing more to say

Chorus:
It's such a little thing but it's oh so hard to do
And we can't pretend we can make amends
And somehow keep it true
So we'll go along thinking nothing's wrong
And never really see
So why can't we just learn to let it be

So you'll pick at it like a scab
Till it bleeds
You'll over analyze, I'll compromise
Anything you need
But hey it takes two - me and you
To walk away
And let the anger fade from view
Hey it takes two

Chorus:
It's such a little thing but it's oh so hard to do
And we can't pretend we can make amends
And somehow keep it true
So we'll go along thinking nothing's wrong
And never really see
Why can't we just learn to let it be
Learn to let it be,
Gotta let it go baby
Gotta learn to let it be
Gotta let it ride baby
Learn to let it be
