[Verse]
The porch light's dim, the night's growing cold,
Your suitcase packed, the truth's been told.
But I can't bear to watch you walk away,
You're the only one I want, come what may.
[Verse 2]
The gravel crunches beneath your boots,
Each step feels like tearing out my roots.
But I know I can't hold what won't stay,
Still I pray you'll come back someday.
[Chorus]
I'm letting you go, though it tears me apart,
You're the only one who still holds my heart.
I need you like the rain needs the ground,
But love ain't love if it keeps you bound.
[Verse 3]
The stars above don't shine quite as bright,
Without you here to share the night.
I close my eyes, but sleep won't come,
Dreams of you leave me undone.
[Bridge]
If loving means setting you free,
Then I'll face this pain, let it be.
But know my heart will always be true,
No matter where life takes you.
[Chorus]
I'm letting you go, though it tears me apart,
You're the only one who still holds my heart.
I need you like the rain needs the ground,
But love ain't love if it keeps you bound.
