Story Behind The Song
I knew this concept had been done before but I wanted to do my own version of it. I think it's something that we all deal with, usually something bad that we can't get over, but sometimes people get stuck reliving their glory days and have a hard time moving on too.
Song Description
Don't get stuck in the past of good or bad things that have happened to you. Keep the memories but live in the present and look to the future.

Lyrics
LET IT GO NOW
I used to be the quarterback of my high school
I loved the game and we went all the way and won
We were the champions, and I was a hero
The years went by and I'd relive those memories
Of winning days, but I was losing out on life
As I held that ball so tight, so I said to myself
CHORUS
Let it go now leave it all behind
Yesterday is only in your mind
Everything that happened in the past
Good or bad it wasn't meant to last
Let it go now make it on your way
Life begins each day
Live today.. today
A year ago I found the perfect girl for me
We took our vows but then the angels called her home
And I woke up alone with her ring in my hand
I've stayed inside because I couldn't take the chance
Of finding love and losing everything again
The thought was too intense but now I remember
CHORUS
Even though I'm finally moving on
Doesn't mean that I'll ever forget
Those sweet, sweet memories will always be a part of me
But now I see my future up ahead
CHORUS
