It's Out of My Hands
Love Unraveled: Facing Regret and Loss in Randy Travis' Ballad
Lyrics
I'll just turn away, there's not need to watch her leaving
I choose to look away; no need to witness her departure
And I don't want to let her see me cry
I don't want her to see my tears
And the part of me that's breaking
A part of me is breaking, realizing I took her for granted
Is The part that has been taking her for granted
The part of me that neglected her in the relationship
And that's why she said goodbye
Her goodbye is a consequence of my shortcomings
It was me that let her down and left her lonely
I disappointed her and left her feeling lonely
But her leaving me was never in my plan
Her departure was never part of my intentions
It started with my lying
It all began with my dishonesty
And it ended with me crying
It ended with my tears; she reached her limit
'Cause she's taken all the lonely she can stand
She can't endure any more loneliness
It's out of my hands now
The situation is beyond my control now
It's over and done
It's concluded and finalized
She's made her choice now
She has made her decision
And I'm not the one
I'm not the chosen one anymore
She'll find her future with some other man
Her future lies with another man
It was all up to me but I just couldn't see
The responsibility was mine, but I failed to see
Now it's out of my hands
Now, I have no control over the situation
She tried every way she knew to make me happy
She tried various ways to bring me happiness
She was more than just a lover and a friend
She was more than just a romantic partner; she was also a friend
I was just too blind to see
I was oblivious to her efforts
And now she set me free
Now, she has released me
So it's best to walk away and let it end
It's best to walk away and let the relationship end
It's out of my hands now
The situation is beyond my influence
It's over and done
It's concluded and finalized
She's made her choice now
She has made her decision
And I'm not the one
I'm not the chosen one anymore
She'll find her future with some other man
Her future lies with another man
It was all up to me but I just couldn't see
The responsibility was mine, but I failed to see
Now it's out of my hands
Now, I have no control over the situation
It was all up to me but I just couldn't see
The responsibility was mine, but I failed to see
Now it's out of my hands
Now, I have no control over the situation
