[Verse 1]

It’s been a rough couple months

Of course, I couldn’t move on

And all my friends got tired of me crying all day long

So I kept it to myself

And I stopped asking for help

Tried to leave it in the past, put it on a shelf


[Pre-Chorus]

But oh, it seems some things, you just can’t let them go alone

It stings knowing you can’t make up your mind

It’s what I get for messing with your kind


[Chorus]

‘Cause while I was taking small steps forward

You stood right by all the wilted flowers

I can’t read your mind

It’s a waste of time

Said you had enough

Please, just let me go

All that time was wasted effort

Just had to show up when things were gеtting better

And I know it’s hard for you

Since I’vе been there too

But you wanted this

Please, just let me go


[Interlude]

(You can’t be serious right now)


[Verse 2]

It was a nice afternoon

Of me not thinking of you

Then you come around with your sorry eyes and your fancy shoes

I thought we both said “farewell”

Don’t put me back in that hell (ooh)

Just lock it up and throw the keys down an empty well


[Pre-Chorus]

But oh, it seems some things, you just can’t let them go alone

It stings knowing you can’t make up your mind

It’s what I get for messing with your kind


[Chorus]

‘Cause while I was taking small steps forward

You stood right by all the wilted flowers

I can’t read your mind

It’s a waste of time

Said you had enough

Please, just let me go

All that time was wasted effort

Just had to show up when things were getting better

And I know it’s hard for you

Since I’ve been there too

But you wanted this

Please, just let me go


[Post-Chorus]

Please, just let me go

Please, just let me go

Said you had enough

Please, just let me go


[Bridge]

Don’t come right back just to apologize

We both said that at least a thousand times

The grave was set, it’s gone and dead

But you just had to dig it back

I hope you know what I’ve been through

I’m doing better than when I had you

It’s in the past (it’s in the past, dude)

I wished you best

Not for you to be back at last now


[Chorus]

While I was taking small steps forward

You stood right by all the wilted flowers

I can’t read your mind

It’s a waste of time

Said you had enough

Please, just let me go

All that time was wasted effort

Just had to show up when things were getting better

And I know it’s hard for you

Since I’ve been there too

But you wanted this

Please, just let me go


[Outro]

Ahh, ahh

Said you had enough

Please, just let me go

Please, just let me go

Please just let me go

Said you had enough

Please, just let me go
