I've been holding back words

And waiting for time

'Cause there's a lesson here somewhere

I know it's mine

And though I'll remember the promise we made

Promises don't justify feeling this way anymore



It's time for letting go

We can't hide what we both know

But ooh, the hurt grows

Every time I think it's over



You've been keeping all your secrets inside

I know the truth now baby

You don't have to hide, no no no

But my mind wanders to the very first day

What a shame things had to turn out this way



Oh, it's time for letting go

We can't hide what we both know

But ooh, the hurt grows

Every time I think it's over



No words could bring back your affection

And no lies could keep me holding on

And holding on and holding on, yeah



And now I know it's time for letting go

We can't hide what we both know

But ooh, the hurt grows

Every time I think it's over

It's time to realize

That we're both just living lies

And way down deep inside

The time is telling me it's time for letting go



Let it go

I keep telling myself over and over

Let it go

But my love's still strong

I just can't keep holding on

And holding on and holding on

I know, oh I know
