There was a time when you were proud

You looked up to me with big eyes

And I could do no wrong

There’s something inside

That’s clearly tearing both of us apart

Oh, there’s something inside



I wonder where you are tonight

And what you did with your day

Can’t find the words to say

Did you feel the sun?

Did you feel the warmness of my heart

Oh, did you feel at all?



They say if you love someone you gotta let them go

And if they return to you that’s surely how you’ll know

Oh, I can read the writing on the wall

Oh, but I can’t let go



They say if you love someone you gotta let them go

And if they return to you that’s surely how you’ll know

Oh, I can read the writing on the wall

Oh, but I can’t let go



I’m hopelessly aware

Of the good and the bad traits we share

It’s like looking at myself

And I know that at times

I could’ve handled things differently

Oh, but know my intentions were well



They say if you love someone you gotta let them go

And if they return to you that’s surely how you’ll know

Oh, I can read the writing on the wall

Oh, but I can’t let go



Oh, I can’t let go [x4]
