Let You Go

How do you survive

A heartbreak that feels unreal?

Like the world keeps turning

But you’re standing still.

We’re standing in our living room,

You whisper, “It’s the start of the end,”

Like somehow breaking us apart

Is how our hearts will mend.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

You say you’re trying to save us

From pain we haven’t known…

But every word you’re saying

Feels like letting go.

If we’re already breaking,

If we’re already bent—

Why does giving up on love

Make more sense?

⸻

Chorus

When did you stop loving me?

Was it slow or all at once?

When did “always and forever”

Turn into “we’re done”?

I was building us a future,

You were halfway out the door—

Now I’m learning how to let you go

When I still want you more.

⸻

Post-Chorus

Let you go, let you go—

Even though I don’t want to.

Let you go, let you go—

Tell me how I’m supposed to.

⸻

Verse 2

I keep seeing that April day,

Sunlight on the lake,

Leaning on the back of your car,

Shaking with every breath we’d take.

You pulled me in like gravity,

Said, “This is where we start,”

First kiss hit like lightning—

Burned forever in my heart.

⸻

Pre-Chorus 2

I was chasing tomorrows,

Talking ‘bout rings and names…

Maybe I forgot to hold you

Instead of racing to the next page.

Now I’d give anything

Just to stay…

⸻

Chorus

When did you stop loving me?

When did I miss the signs?

When did your steady heartbeat

Stop lining up with mine?

I was holding onto always,

You were already gone…

Now I’m trying to let you go

When I still want to hold on.

⸻

Bridge

If I could go back to that lake,

To the daylight in April,

I’d freeze us in that second—

Before love got fatal.

I don’t think you stopped loving me,

I think you’re just afraid…

Of fighting for something real

If it might not stay.

So why are we giving up

When we still feel this strong?

Why does forever scare you

If it’s where we belong?

⸻

Final Chorus (Lifted)

When did you stop loving me?

Or are you scared to stay?

We were fire in the daylight—

Now we’re fading into gray.

I was ready for forever,

You were ready to move on…

But loving you might mean tonight

I finally let you go.

⸻

Final Post-Chorus (Outro)

Let you go, let you go—

Even though it breaks me.

Let you go, let you go—

Even if it takes me.

Let you go…

If that’s what you need from me.
