When You Let Me Go
When I saw you smilingNot too long agoEverything was brighterHow was to know?That before too long you'd be changingSomeone else was thereNow you must confess that it's so much lessThan you once used to care
You can tell me that I'm crazyBut you know it's trueI don't want to wait till tomorrowSo tell me what to doBut if you're taking for grantedThat I came here to staySorry baby but now you're wrongI have to say
When you let me goI'll be gone foreverIf you let me knowThings can't be the sameWhen you let me goThen it's now or neverIf you let me knowI'll forget your name
Some people say that it happensLike a strange diseaseNobody knows what the cure isYou're just down on your kneesAnd I still can't help believingSoon we'll both be fineBut then I guess now there's someone elseOut there who holds the line
Why did you think we could make itAnd why did you tell me so?Now it's time for you to say"I plan to let you go"Even if it's harder than everAnd that's the price you payLate is better than never you knowSo please tell me today
When you let me goI'll be gone foreverIf you let me knowThings can't be the sameWhen you let me goThen it's now or neverIf you let me knowI'll forget your name
