I'm Letting You Go

Lyrics by Ries 777 Music by Ries 777 & Suno Remastered I still walk down our old street Like you might step outside I know somebody else lives there But I still check for your light I thought we had a lifetime left Made plans like they were carved in stone When you said you couldn’t stay I thought it meant I wasn’t worth loving On my own I watched you leave, but couldn’t see How lonely you had been with me Held on so hard to what we were I didn’t hear what you needed I’m letting you go Though I still love you You don’t have to stay Just because I want you to What we had was real Even if we’re through I don’t have to hate you To learn to live without you It hurts more than I can show But I’m letting you go You asked, do you still hear me I said, I’m right here Then turned back to my phone Like that was all you needed to hear I told my friends you walked away Left out the times I shut you out I could name your every mistake But wouldn’t turn that mirror around I counted everything I gave Like love was something you should repay But you don’t owe me love because I thought we’d spend our lives as us I’m letting you go Though I still love you You don’t have to stay Just because I want you to What we had was real Even if we’re through I don’t have to hate you To learn to live without you It hurts more than I can show But I’m letting you go You were my love, never mine to own I’m learning that here on my own I miss you, and I’m angry still Some nights I guess I always will I’m not at peace with how it ended I won’t pretend that I’m all right But I hope one day I’ll say your name Without reliving our last night I’m letting you go Though I still love you You don’t have to stay Just because I want you to What we had was real Even if we’re through I can keep the good we had And build a life without you It hurts more than I can show But I’m letting you go One step, then one more I’m letting you go Today I pass the turn to your street Slow down, but keep moving on I still don’t know where I’m going Just a little farther than before I’m letting you go I’m letting you go
