Sometimes you find out what you wanted
Isn't really what you need
And the dream in all its promise
Was never meant to beAll your hopes and desperation
Won't make it like it was
And you believe the pain will never end
Believe me in time it doesYou'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 goneWhen your golden road has reached the end
You find a way to start again
You know
There's a time for love and a time for letting goWhen you're standin' tall tomorrow
Looking back at yesterday
Through the memory of your sorrow
How the dawn was so far awayYou'll be far beyond the shadows
Where hearts can learn to shine
And you'll realize the endless night
Was only a moment in timeYou'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 goneWhen your golden road has reached the end
You find a way to start again
You know
There's a time for love and a time for letting goThe 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 beginYou'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 goneWhen your golden road has reached the end
You find a way to start again
You know
There's a time for love and a time for letting goThere's a time for love
There's a time for letting goYou've gotta know when love is over
You've gotta learn to carry on
Carry on
