[Intro]

Oooh

He made it so hard to trust someone (Trust someone)

He made it so hard to fall in love (Fall in love)

[Verse 1]

Not tryna mess up this relationship (thinking)

'Cause the last man did me that way

You gon' do the same things

I don't wanna be this way

But I'm hoping you can change the way that I feel (Ohh)

You see, I trusted him with everything

Never held back anything

Thought we'd be together for the rest of our lives

So suddenly he took his love away

And made it hard to trust again, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

I know I've been holding back, but he really hurt me bad

I don't wanna take my past and put it all on you

I'm not tryna hold you back

Really hope you understand

I don't know what I'm gonna do

[Chorus]

When I think of what he did to me

It makes it hard to fall in love

When I think about just what I need

It makes it hard to trust someone

Baby, I gotta let go

Don't wanna miss out on love this time

Gotta leave those things behind

[Verse 2]

Whatever's yours, you call it ours

Send flowers with love, you keep me showered

And so did my ex-man at first

You see what started out so simple

All flew out the window

There I go comparing you to him again

It keeps holding me down (I gotta let it go)

I wanna give love a chance ('Cause you may never know)

Baby, you could be the one for me

Yes, the only one for me

And I don't wanna lose a good thing, no

[Pre-Chorus]

I know I've been holding back, but he really hurt me bad

I don't wanna take my past and put it all on you

I'm not tryna hold you back

Really hope you understand

I don't know what I'm gonna do

[Chorus]

When I think of what he did to me

It makes it hard to fall in love

When I think about just what I need

It makes it hard to trust someone

Baby, I gotta let go

Don't wanna miss out on love this time

Gotta leave those things behind

[Verse 3]

One disappointment, one heartbreak

Too many mistakes in love I've made

I can't come with all this baggage

Thinking he's gon' have it

See, I know I'm being selfish, but I gotta let it go

Close that chapter, close that book

Faith and love is all it ever took

That's why I never gave up

And I never gave in

'Cause I know true love is waiting for me again

[Pre-Chorus]

I know I've been holding back, but he really hurt me bad

I don't wanna take my past And put it all on you

I'm not tryna hold you back

Really hope you understand

I don't know what I'm gonna do

[Chorus]

When I think of what he did to me

It makes it hard to fall in love

When I think about just what I need

It makes it hard to trust someone

Baby, I gotta let go

Don't wanna miss out on love this time

Gotta leave those things behind

[Outro]

He made it so hard to trust someone (Trust someone)

He made it so hard to fall in love (Fall in love)

Oooh
