I'm gonna let you go
because I miss being able to breathe
and I've got bruises on my knees
from falling to the ground and begging
God to please
make you take me back.

I'm gonna let you go
because I wanna start
mending my broken heart
and there's circles around my eyes
and my skin is covered in hot tears that have yet to dry
and there’s no more blues in my skies
and I need for there to be.

I'm gonna let you go
because it's time to move on
and these feeling are much too strong and
I need to learn how to be me
Without you.

I'm gonna let you go
because I lost myself trying to get to you
and I need to learn how to stop
hating myself for letting you go
so I can learn to love myself
and maybe, just maybe,
I can love someone else.

I'm gonna let you go
but I'm gonna think of you
because you were the best thing
that ever happened to me
but it's time to grow.

So I'm gonna let you go
