[Verse 1]
I held your name for years
Like a ring I couldn’t lose
I kept your side of the bed
Like it still knew what to do
Your laugh still stays with me
In the cracks between my days
I love you deep, I loved you long
In every small, stubborn way
[Pre-Chorus]
But love can’t be a chain
Holding you down
And I can’t stay and pretend
You’re mine
If I keep pulling on your heart
I will only break down
[Chorus]
It’s time to go
It’s time to go
You’ll live in my dreams
That’s where you’ll stay
Never replaced
Never replaced
You are my one true love
But I have to walk away
[Verse 2]
I won’t forget your hands
Or the quiet in your eyes
But I’ve been hearing to much doubt
Under all my dreams
If I keep you in my arms
I will only push you away
I might lose what’s left of me
So I’m putting down this ache
And letting you be free
[Pre-Chorus]
But love can’t be a chain
And I can’t stay and pretend
If I keep pulling on your heart
I will only break
[Chorus]
It’s time to go
It’s time to go
You’ll live in my dreams
That’s where you’ll stay
Never replaced
Never replaced
You are my one true love
But I have to walk away
So you can be free
[Bridge]
So I’ll leave the door unlocked
For the girl I used to be
And I’ll carry just enough
To remember you gently
If forever had a shape
It looked a lot like us
Now I’m choosing peace for you
And for the love I trusted
[Chorus]
It’s time to go
It’s time to go
You’ll live in my dreams
That’s where you’ll stay
Never replaced
Never replaced
You are my one true love
But I have to walk away
So you can live your way
[Outro]
It’s time I leave
And let you breathe
It’s time I leave
And let you have peace
Even though you are perfect to me
