Letting You Go

Original

Yeah-yeah, one sec, one sec

I was living my life through a lens

Keeping it real, but playing pretend

Thinking all my demons were my friends

The storm has passed but the smoke's still here

And I'm talking to the man in the mirror

Saying this ain't how the story has to end

Unpack my bags, on to the next

My heart forgives but can't forget

But hell I'm here, so no regrets, babe

I'm just saying I thought you should know

I'm letting you go, I'm letting you go

And to all the pain I used to hold

I'm letting you go, I'm letting you go

Now I'm off my phone and laying off the booze

Sometimes you win when you lose

And the other side's a better view

And I ain't looking back

To the broken man I was before

I don't recognize him anymore

So tear him down 'cause he's all yours, babe

I'm just saying I thought you should know

I'm letting you go, I'm letting you go

And to all the pain I used to hold

I'm letting you go, I'm letting you go

Oh, to the drama queens and tears I shed

The bullshit on the internet

They're tryna keep the egos fed

The monkey on my back is dead, oh

I'm letting you go, I'm letting you go, yeah

I'm just saying I thought you should know

I'm letting you go, I'm letting you go

And so it's on with the show

I'm letting you go, yeah, I've let you go
