I felt like a fool when you walked away

With a suitcase full of clothes in the middle of the night

There was nothing I really could say

To keep you from leaving me, without sparking a fight



I remember falling victim to your heart,

And hoping you'd rescue me, from everything I'd bottled up

I guess I was torn from the very start

I was fastened to a puzzle you didn't want a piece of



I don't know what kept me, from wanting to let you go

I don't know what kept me, from wanting to let you go... let you go



So I took out some old pictures of you

From a cardboard box, that was underneath my bed

When I looked at them I snapped in two

They left a trail of memories, racing through my head



I don't know what kept me, from wanting to let you go

I don't know what kept me, from wanting to let you go... let you go



When I drove through the square, the streets felt somewhat emptier

And when I woke up each morning, huh, I could breath a little bit easier...



Several months ago you popped up on my phone

You musta moved to Austin to be with some other guy

Now it don't bother me that I'm here alone

All things considered, I'm just glad you're doing fine



I don't know what kept me, from wanting to let you go

I don't know what kept me, from wanting to let you go

I don't know what kept me,

I don't know what kept me,

I don't know what kept me, from wanting to let you go... Let you go
