[Verse 1]

Girls like boys with empty hearts

Who wreck your life and fall apart

And leave you with a mess you never made

Forget the ones that have a plan

And don't cause hell because they can

And don't erase the love they never gave

[Pre-Chorus]

Because you're high on fear, and you're drunk on tears

Run away from the things you don't want to hear

Because the truth's unkind, but you might just find

That that's the only thing that's gonna save you

[Chorus]

But letting go is way too much

Letting go, love bites the dust

Letting go won't set you free

Let him go

Letting go, you see the signs

Hits you right between the eyes

Is he all you really need?

Let him go

Oh-oh

[Verse 2]

Don't grow up fast, just wait your turn

You've got a lot still left to learn

You don't need boys to tell you how to survive

And to this day I wonder how

You felt when you just stuck around

Just waiting for your man to do the time

[Pre-Chorus]

Because you're high on fear, and you're drunk on tears

Run away from the things you don't want to hear

Because the truth's unkind, but you might just find

That that's the only thing that's gonna save you

[Chorus]

But letting go is way too much

Letting go, love bites the dust

Letting go won't set you free

Let him go

Letting go, you see the signs

Hits you right between the eyes

Is he all you really need?

Let him go

[Bridge]

Letting go is way to hard to bare

Nothing can compare to what we have to face

Ooh, letting go is way to hard to bare

Nothing can compare to what we have to face

[Chorus]

Letting go is way too much

Letting go, love bites the dust

Letting go won't set you free

Let him go

Letting go, you see the signs

Hits you right between the eyes

Is he all you really need?

Let him go

[Outro]

Let him go and make it right

Let him go and start a fight

Let him crawl back to your door

All the months you spent alone

Let him go you see the signs

Hits you right between the eyes

Did he catch you by surprise?

Let him go

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-ohh

Hmm
