Casados – Letting Go

I found this song via Pandora, and its driving me nuts. the band is a small band, thats actually from a city about an hour from where I am originally from. the band is called Casados, and it consists of Nic Dillon, and Heather Dillon. As well as a few others.
anyway, I couldn’t find the lyrics online, or a video.. so I sat here for the last 20 minutes listening and writing. I’m not sure if all the lyrics are 100% accurate, but this is the best I could hear. 

—————

Tangled strings weave knots into my soul
Twist and turn they fail to un·rav·el

Feel the pull
Take its toll

[chorus]
Cut this rope that’s holding us together
Years from now I’m sure we will see better
What’s so good it couldn’t last forever?
letting go, i know it will be better

Ashes formed, post embers burn out slow
From the fires that once inspired me so
And let me go, (this hand to fold)

[chorus]
Cut this rope that’s holding us together
Years from now I’m sure we will see better
What’s so good it couldn’t last forever?
Letting go, I know it will be better

Naked, there’s no more for you to see
Good and bad, you’ve seen all sides of me
Let you be. leave slow·ly

[chorus]
Cut this rope that’s holding us together
Years from now I’m sure we will see better
What’s so good it couldn’t last forever?
Letting go, I know it will be better

    Heard the song on Pandora through my stereo, so I missed even seeing the band name! Trying to find it was driving me crazy!! You’re a life-saver! Thank you!

    I found the same song from Pandora. It so resonated with me, especially with my recent divorce. Thanks so much for putting this together. I think I found a couple of refinements as I’ve listened to it over and over as well. Here are some things I heard–still one part I don’t totally get:

    This song is so beautiful. I just found this through pandora, and I can’t stop listening to it. Me and my boyfriend of 4 and half years just recently decided to go our separate ways, and this song is very inspiring to listen to when I’m feeling sad. I will be sure to share this song with my friends!

    We need to find a way to make this band bigger.. I love their music!!! where did you say they were from?

    Also, if you haven’t heard ‘Panama’ by the same band, it has an equally fantastic vibe. I had to sit and write out the lyrics to that one too while I learned it on guitar. So great. That article above is from 2007.. anyone know if they are still together?

    greetings from Chile!
