Lyrics
Let Go
(Verse 1)
Hey, it's been a while since we said goodbye;
Thought we closed that chapter; let it all just die.
But here you are again, knockin' like before--
Thinkin' I still feel what I don't anymore.
(Pre-Chorus)
Love's a burning candle; sometimes it's gotta go out.
Don't you understand what movin' on is all about?
(Chorus)
I can't be your lighthouse in a sea of dark despair.
You're obsessed, and it ain't fair.
The love we had is gone, like a whisper in the air.
You've gotta let go, gotta let go; we're no longer a pair.
(Verse 2)
You text me late at night, sayin' you're alone.
You linger in my life like an unpaid loan.
I've got my boundaries drawn up in red.
You say you miss me, but I'm galaxies ahead.
(Pre-Chorus)
Love's a burning candle; sometimes it's gotta go out.
Don't you understand what movin' on is all about?
(Chorus)
I can't be your lighthouse in a sea of dark despair.
You're obsessed, and it ain't fair.
The love we had is gone, like a whisper in the air.
You've gotta let go, gotta let go; we're no longer a pair.
(Bridge)
I wish you well, don't get me wrong;
It's just that our love story's no longer a song.
You're a faded photograph, a chapter closed.
It's time to leave behind what you still can't let go.
(Pre-Chorus)
Love's a burning candle; sometimes it's gotta go out.
Don't you understand what movin' on is all about?
(Chorus)
I can't be your guide on a path that's gone astray.
It's a new dawn, a brand-new day.
The love we had is a tale that's old and gray.
You've gotta let go, gotta let go; it's time to walk away.
(Outro)
Turn your ship around--go find a calmer shore.
Our love's a ghost town; don't haunt it anymore.
You've gotta let go, gotta let go; it's time for self-care.
You've gotta let go, gotta let go; a future awaits if you dare.
