Stage 3: Acceptance

7. Mannequin

Album: Circus Producers: Harvey Mason & Rob Knox You’re simply tired of it all. Tired of thinking about him, about what happened, where it went wrong, and how it could’ve been different. It’s exhausting, and it’s just easier not to go there anymore. You’re not ready to be happy for him, but you don’t wish him ill will, either. Choice Quote: “You can cry your eyes out of your head, Baby, baby, I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care, You can cry(-cry-cry) again(-gain-gain), My face like a mannequin”

8. Let Go

Album: Unreleased Producers: Unknown Go ahead with that one last cry then let it go. All of it. You put your heart and soul into something and it just wasn’t meant to be. It’s okay to feel hurt, but it’s not okay to let that control you any more. Be happy — for yourself, your journey and for him, too. Just let it all go. Choice Quote: “The feeling of going down way too deep Holding on so you wont lose your feet Sometimes you just gotta trust You gotta take that leap And let go You gotta let go”
