[Verse 1] Your coat still hangs by the door Like you might walk in again The glass on the table is cold And I keep reaching for then I heard your laugh in the hall Just the pipes in the wall Still, I pause when my phone lights up Like a prayer I don't call [Pre-Chorus] I held on hard To the edge of your name But love won't stay When it needs to change [Chorus] So I let you go I let you go Love stays in my bones Even if you don't I let you go I let you go What we were was real And I still know [Verse 2] The scarf in the drawer smells like rain From the night we missed the train You said, "Don't turn this into pain" So I learned your face by the shape of the change I used to pick at the seams Try to stitch up the dream Now I see what you gave me Was bigger than me [Pre-Chorus] You were a door I was scared to close Now the wind moves through Where the hurt once froze [Chorus] So I let you go I let you go Love stays in my bones Even if you don't I let you go I let you go What we were was real And I still know [Bridge] Oh, I see it now You were never mine to keep You were the tide And I was learning deep No, I won't erase Every line you wrote in me I'll wear that light And let it breathe [Final Chorus] So I let you go I let you go Love stays in my bones And it makes me whole I let you go I let you go What we were was real And it still grows I let you go I let you go Not because it died Because I know I let you go I let you go And the love we made Can let me go
