I've grown a lot in the past five years

You've helped me out with all my fears

You're there for me when ever I'm in need

But now your eyes are filled with tears

Because your afraid I'll disappear you're just

Scared that I don't want you here

And I don't want you near

I'm growing up like everyone

Soon you'll be all alone I know

How hard it is to be alone

For so long you've held me close

Under protection of your wing

Never thinking of this

Now your afraid I might not remember

All the things you taught me

In eighteen years

So when I say this please remember

That you mean the whole world to me

But you're gonna have to try to let me go

You've got to learn to let me go now

Let me go you've got to learn to let me go

Last night when you told me that you thought

You lost my love

I couldn't figure who you were thinking of

Some one new just took my love

No need to fall apart

Cause I still feel the same

Don't go out to play tonight

Don't go out to bars there's

Too many fights there

I can't stand this waiting in the

Dark for you again

But when I get back home tonight you'll be

Waiting there just like last night

I know that some time again you will love me

But I can't read your mind so please understand

That the cards are in my hands

And you can't be the judge in my life

It's complicated enough already sometimes

You might believe that I'm on strike

But please let me choose my owe path

Let me go you have to learn to

Let me go now let me go

My heart still needs some time to grow
