Letting Go Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember gettin' fucked up on the long nights
I remember how we made up after long fights
I remember when we stayed up till the daylight
I remember when you told me you were all mine

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the past be the past
’Cause I know nothin' lasts
Yeah, we had what we had
But I'm movin’ on

[Chorus]
I hope you know that it wasn't easy
Letting go of the life I knew
I just had to get out, move to the city
Didn't feel right takin' you with me
Hope you know that it wasn't easy
Letting go, oh-oh

[Verse 2]
I tell myself that I don't need you, that I'm okay
Tell myself I'm on my own now, go my own way
I see the pictures of your new life, you look happy
Tell myself movin’ on should be easy
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the past be the past
’Cause I know nothin' lasts
Yeah, we had what we had
But I’m movin' on

[Chorus]
I hope you know that it wasn't easy
Letting go of the life I knew
I just had to get out, move to the city
Didn't feel right takin’ you with me
Hope you know that it wasn't easy
Letting go, oh-oh

[Bridge]
I was scared of heights before I fell for you
Felt like we had nothin' but time
Lie to each other, but we know it's true
Our love was young and born to die

[Refrain]
I remember when we stayed up till the daylight
I remember when you told me you were all mine

[Chorus]
I hope you know that it wasn't easy
Letting go of the life I knew
I just had to get out, move to the city
Didn't feel right takin' you with me
Hope you know that it wasn't easy
Letting go, oh-oh
[Post-Chorus]
Letting go, oh-oh-oh
Letting go, oh-oh
Letting go, oh-oh-oh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
