Lyrics The First Step Is Letting Go - Vanessa Amorosi

I walked up to a wall so high
All I ever wanted to do was climb
Even though I didn't know
What I'd find on the other side

Every time I started to rise
I heard, "Come back, slow down, turn around"
But in the distance I could see
The place I wanted to be
And when I got to the top I found
The only way up was down

The first step is letting go
The first step is letting go
You know it's hard sometimes
To just walk that lonely line
But the first step is letting go

Good friends used to stick together
I had a dream and they said, "Never, never"
Fairytales are for little girls
You got your head stuck in the clouds

I began to see the lies
That good friends do tell so well
You want a dream to call your own?
Sometimes you gotta walk alone
You gotta leave it all behind
And break the [?]

The first step is letting go
The first step is letting go
You know it's hard sometimes
To just walk that lonely line
But the first step is letting go

No one ever wants to see
No one ever wants to leave
Even though the house is falling down
So hard to let go of the past
But you're holding broken glass
There's diamonds everywhere
But you have to look around
Have to look around

The first step is letting go
The first step is letting go
You know it's hard sometimes
To just walk that lonely line
But the first step is letting go

(The first step is letting go)
Oh-oh, it's letting go
(The first step is letting go)
You know that it's hard sometimes
To just walk that lonely line
But the first step is letting go

(The first step is letting go)
Oh, letting go
(The first step is letting go)
'Cause you know it's hard at times
To walk the lonely line
But the first step is letting go
