as i walked away looking at the sky

i knew that i had left everything behind

didn't wanna face the sadness in your eyes

didn't wanna hurt

didn't wanna cry

when you sat in sorrow every night

i felt the weight of your world in mine

and finally i realized

i had to let you go

it's getting colder in here

the fire's burning low

i had to let you go

i feel it in my bones

and now it's too much to bear

i'm better on my own

i had to let you go

i had to let you go

i had to let you

i had to let you

i had to let you go

i had to let you

i had to let you

i had to let you go

i had to let you

i had to let you

i had to let you go

i had to let you

i had to let you let you let you let you let you

when you called my name

i almost turned around

if only i was strong

i'd lift you off the ground

the ship is going down

i know you don't look

maybe one day you'll make it back to me

and when you sat in sorrow every night

i felt the weight of your world in mine

and finally i realized i realized

i had to let you go

it's getting colder in here

the fire's burning low

i had to let you go

i feel it in my bones

and now it's too much to bear

i'm better on my own

i had to let you go

i had to let you go

i had to let you

i had to let you

i had to let you go

i had to let you

i had to let you

i had to let you go

i had to let you

i had to let you

i had to let you go

i had to let you

i had to let you let you

i had to let you go
