[Verse 1]
I saw it in your face
At the kitchen door
You said my name so soft
Like you used to do before
Your ring was in your hand
Not on your skin
And I knew right then
We were breaking in
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept on reaching out
You kept stepping back
I heard the silence say
What your heart won’t pack
I wanted one more night
You wanted out
[Chorus]
So I let you go
I let you go
If your heart is gone
Then I’ll set you free
I let you go
I let you go
Love don’t live
Where you don’t want me
[Verse 2]
Your sweater’s on the chair
Your shoes by the wall
I walk through this old house
Like it’s haunted after all
I still catch your laugh
In the front room air
But you’re already gone
And I’m not there
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept on reaching out
You kept stepping back
I heard the silence say
What your heart won’t pack
I wanted one more night
You wanted out
[Chorus]
So I let you go
I let you go
If your heart is gone
Then I’ll set you free
I let you go
I let you go
Love don’t live
Where you don’t want me
[Bridge]
I won’t chain your hands
To a fading dream
I’d rather miss you clean
Than hold what used to be
If you don’t love me now
I won’t make you stay
I loved you all the way
That has to be enough today
[Final Chorus]
So I let you go
I let you go
If your heart is gone
Then I’ll set you free
I let you go
I let you go
Love don’t live
Where you don’t want me
I let you go
I let you go
Now I’m hurt, but I’m free
