Don't know when I'll see you
Thats why I don't want to leave you
You said call me if I ever need you
I don't really wanna leave you
But we both know whats best for us
This is love this is not lust
Moving on is whats best for us
Hey I let you go
I let you go I let you go
I let you go I let you go
I let you go I let you go
I let you go I let you go
I let you go I let you go
I let you go I let you go
We stood by the water
One by one in order
Dollar, nickel, quater
It didn't matter I was for ya
But we know its best for us
But we know we have to trust
This is love this is not lust
Moving on is whats best for us
I let you go I let you go
I let you go I let you go
I let you go I let you go
I let you go I let you go
Hey I let you go
I let you go I let you go
Didn't want to but I let you go
I let you go I let you go
I let you go I let you go
After all I had to let you go
I let you go I let you go
Aye I did not want to but I had to
I let you I let you go
I let you I let you go
I let you go I let go
I didn't know what else to do about it so I
I let you go I let go
It hurt me to my core but I let you go
I let you go I let go
It was the hardest thing for me to do but I
Oh

He doesn't want to leave them, but he knows that it's for the best. The chorus, which repeats the words "I let you go" multiple times, emphasizes the pain and difficulty of this decision.
The second verse continues to explore this theme, highlighting the fact that the couple has shared many experiences together. They've stood by the water and thrown coins in, and they've grown close despite their differences. But ultimately, their love isn't enough to keep them together.
