They both feel it when they kiss
And it breaks his heart the way it's breaking his
Another night pretending nothing's wrong
But they both know that she's already gone

Chorus
He's holding onto yesterday but he knows she can't live this way
And there's certain things a man just can't control
Like the distance in her eyes, like the truth he can't deny
And the heartache that's about to take it's toll
Anyone who's ever been there and survived has come to know the moving on is in the letting go

Maybe she just needs time to herself
Maybe she's in love with someone else
There's some answers he don't wanna know
Some places that a man don't wanna go

He's holding onto yesterday but he knows she can't live this way
And there's certain things a man just can't control
Like the distance in her eyes, like the truth he can't deny
And the heartache that's about to take it's toll
Anyone who's ever been there and survived has come to know the moving on is in the letting go
