[Verse 1]
I had a man who'd listen to my every word,
Through sunshine and storms, he stood unshaken,
I thought I needed more, something grander,
So I left him there... heartbroken and mistaken.
I found another, the so-called dream,
Chased the sparkle, not the gleam,
But gold fades fast when it's only skin-deep,
And promises here are too easy to break.
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I sit alone with my paper heart,
Wishing I could go back to the start...
[Chorus]
You're the one I let go,
The hand I should have held tight,
The voice that calmed my storms,
The eyes that saw my fight.
I chased a world that never knew my soul,
Now I'm the fool in this empty role,
Wishing I'd stayed with the one I let go.
[Verse 2]
You waited longer than you ever should,
Every tear I cried, you understood,
I thought I needed someone brighter, bolder,
But love doesn’t live in a brand-new shoulder.
Now he turns away when I break inside,
Your memory’s the only place I can hide,
I traded diamonds for broken glass,
I see it clear, too late to turn back.
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I hold regrets I can't undo,
Wishing I still had you...
[Chorus]
You're the one I let go,
The hand I should have held tight,
The voice that calmed my storms,
The eyes that saw my fight.
I chased a world that never knew my soul,
Now I'm the fool in this empty role,
Wishing I'd stayed with the one I let go.
[Bridge]
If hearts could rewind like an old love song,
I'd find you again where I belong,
But some goodbyes are made of stone,
And some mistakes you pay alone...
[Final Chorus]
You're the one I let go,
The hand I should have held tight,
The voice that calmed my storms,
The eyes that saw my fight.
I traded truth for a painted show,
Now I'm lost with nowhere to go,
Still dreaming of the one I let go...
[Outro]
The one I let go...
The one I let go...
