about

The ultimate break-up song. If you're fresh off a relationship, use caution.

lyrics

I moved back out two weeks ago.
I kept hoping you'd call, in the middle of the night, desperate for my voice, begging me just to come back.

But don't feel too bad, I'll be alright.
I've done this enough times.
Maybe it's sad how good I'm getting at saying goodbye.

But I'll let you go.
I'll let you go.
I'll let you go though I know that there's no one else out there I'd rather reach for in my sleep.

I'm being strong, so independent.
I can't say I don't cry.
but I believe and hope that one of these days I'm gonna stop.
But it's not so bad most of the time.
I keep myself busy sweeping away memories, laughing at what I called love.

But I'll let you go.
I'll let you go.
I'll let you go though I know there are no guarantees and I may never see you again. Not that I want to see you.

Was it a dream? I can't believe you're the same man who wanted nothing but me. Don't you remember those sacred nights when a kiss was much more than most people will ever know? Not that I want to see you.

I could walk down the block to your street, just to drop by and say hi.
But I don't want you to think that I don't have anything better to do.
Is this so bad, thinking of you?
I should just give it all up.
But I can still taste the sadness that drew me to you and then threw me away.

And I'll let you go.
I'll let you go.
I'll let you go though I know I'll never get rid of this feeling that you're coming back.
I'll let you go.
I'll let you go.
I'll let you go though I know, deep in my soul, you're the best thing, the best thing that I'll ever know.
But I'll let you go.
I'll let you go.
