Verse 1
We loved without a guide
I gave my heart, but love needs space
We grew up side by side
But sometimes hearts don’t match the pace
Pre-Chorus
It’s not a bitter goodbye
It’s not the end of what we had
It’s just the courage to try
To do what’s right, even when it’s sad
Chorus
Sometimes love means letting go
Even when it hurts, we have to know
I’ll hold you in my heart, but set you free
For our good, for you, for me
We let go, so we can be free
Verse 2
I hear your silence
I feel your fear inside
We were breaking, you and I
Trying to fix what we could not hide
We mistook comfort for love
We said forever, too many times
And in our trying, we forgot
What our hearts really need to find
Pre-Chorus
I’m not leaving ‘cause I don’t care
I’m leaving ‘cause I love you enough
To let you grow, breathe fresh air
Even if it’s tough
Chorus
Sometimes love means letting go
Even when it hurts, we have to know
I’ll hold you in my heart, but set you free
For our good, for you, for me
We let go, so we can be free
Bridge
Maybe one day, somewhere, somehow
Our paths will cross again
But today, to love truly, we know
We must let go, we must let go
Final Chorus (soft, repeated)
Sometimes love means letting go
Even when it hurts, we have to know
I’ll hold you in my heart, but set you free
For our good, for you, for me
We let go, so we can be free
