Verse 1 All of my friends are telling me that I should let you go, But, this pain I feel inside refuses to release its hold, Memories of I love you, me always thinking of you…Haunt me every time I close my eyes, But today, during my dismay, I finally realized…… Pre-Chorus This is for the woman I’ve grown to be, I refuse to let your past traumas break me, I did my best to love the pain away, but you were determined not to walk away, Baby I’m not running away from love, it’s always been you I was thinking of, But now I have to put me first, I can’t let this pain get no worse Chorus You still hold the key to my heart, Even though we’ve grown apart, The love I have for you still reign, But in the midst of my pain, It’s time I let you go…I can’t take it no more Verse 2 You moved on knowing all along that you didn’t feel the way you say you felt, kissing and loving on me making my heart melt, But now I know that you said what you needed to say, to make me feel some type of way, Baby, I don’t hate you I’m finally healing, I could no longer wait for you, I was tired of dealing, And even though it hurt me to my soul, I had to let you go, I could do it, I couldn’t take it no more, Pre-Chorus (Repeat) (same as above – builds emotion) Chorus (Repeat) (full vocals, harmonies stack here) Bridge (Instrumental) ( let the band breathe here, or do spoken ad-libs like “mm… I tried…” without adding new lyrics.) VAMP (This is where the emotion spills but stays true to your story) [Sing with raw emotion] I loved you the best way I knew how But loving you cost me myself somehow I gave you grace, I gave you time But I can’t keep breaking just to make you fine I choose me… yeah, I choose me I choose peace over what used to be I still love you, that much is true But loving me means letting go of you (Repeat / build / ad-libs) I choose me… I choose healing… I choose peace… I let you go… Final Chorus / Outro (Optional) “It’s time I let you go…” [Music fades out with instrumental]
