Let You Go
Grace Potter Lyrics

Your mind moved on
You mentally moved on from our relationship

But your body didn't know
But physically, you were still around

It was time to let go
It was time to accept the end of our relationship

It took a while to realize
It took time for me to come to terms with the fact that you were gone for good

That you would never want to be around
That you never had any interest in coming back to me

Without your feet on the ground
Without being grounded and committed to the relationship

Then you crossed that razor sharp line
Then you made a definitive decision to leave me, without any chance of reconciliation

There's no soft edges I can find
Your decision was final and absolute, leaving no room for negotiation

There's no turning back this time
There was no hope for getting back together or fixing the relationship

You're just gone
You left me without any explanation or closure

Now I gotta let you go
Now it's my turn to accept that you're gone and move on with my life

So it won't hurt no more
So that I can stop feeling the pain caused by our separation

If I could let you go
If I could find a way to let you go emotionally

Then I wouldn't feel sick no more
Then I would be able to finally feel better and not suffer anymore

Sometimes I wonder
Sometimes I reflect on our relationship and how things ended

If we hadn't gotten so close
If we didn't get so intimate and intertwined in each other's lives

This wouldn't hurt as much I suppose
Then the pain of our separation would be less severe

I could survive a hundred lonely years
I could endure a lifetime of loneliness

If I could get back just a moment
If I could just have a small amount of time with you

You were standing here
Just to have you here with me again

And I'm trying to find that time when I
And I'm trying to find a moment where I can

Can smile about all these lonely memories
Look back and remember the good times we had without feeling sad or lonely

Maybe eventually
Maybe there is hope that someday

If I could just let you go
If I could just find a way to let you go emotionally

I let you go
I finally was able to emotionally let you go

It doesn't hurt no more
I'm finally free of the pain of our separation

I could let you go
I'm finally ready to let you go and move on with my life

No I don't feel sick no more
I no longer feel the emotional sickness that came with the end of our relationship

Now I find with the passing time
With time, I've been able to find

I'll be all right with only the memories
The ability to be alright with just the memories of our relationship

That you gave to me
Memories that were special to me and will always be cherished

I can let you go
I'm completely capable of letting you go now and moving forward

I could let you go
I'm ready to let you go and close the chapter of our relationship

I can let you go
I have found my strength to let you go and move on with my life

I can let you, I can let you go
I'm confident that I can let you go and free myself from the emotional burden of our relationship
