Let Me Try

A Cappella – Part I

We both know I need to fall out of love with you,

Would be great if you would let me try.

I’ve been sittin’ and waitin’ for you to come around,

But baby… you never even try.

You hold my heart like a borrowed coat,

Wear it when you’re cold, leave it when you don’t.

And I know, God, I know it’s overdue—

Let me fall out of love with you.

Verse 1

We had a map drawn out in sandbanks,

Two of us dreamin’ ’bout the seaside and a last name.

You said forever like it came without a warning,

But you stopped saying "I love you" when you were away.

The highs felt like heaven, the lows left me broken.

Pre-Chorus

Every time I thought you’d changed,

You’d change the score and let me fade.

I kept hopin’, kept holdin’, but baby…

Chorus

Now I just need to fall out of love with you—

So let me go before I lose myself again.

I can’t keep waitin’ on a someday that you outgrew,

Or beggin’ for a heart you never planned to mend.

You threw away the dreams we painted blue,

Now please… let me fall out of love with you.

Verse 2

Mama told me love ain’t meant to feel like beggin’,

A woman shouldn’t have to chase a man to stay.

But I kept the door cracked open for your maybe,

’Til I realized maybe only leads to pain.

You didn’t fight, didn’t call, didn’t turn back—

Guess it’s easy losin’ something you never planned to have.

Pre-Chorus

Every promise you let break

Taught my heart what it could take—

And every room I walk into, I’m still lookin’ for you.

Chorus

I just need to fall out of love with you—

So let me breathe without your ghost inside my chest.

I can’t keep rehearsin’ a life you never knew,

Done hopin’ you’ll come back and try your best.

You walked away like what we had was overdue—

So please… let me fall out of love with you.
