[Verse 1]
I've been holding back words and waiting for time
There's a lesson here somewhere I know it's mine
Though I'll remember the promise we made
Promises don't justify feeling this way anymore

[Chorus]
It's time for letting go we can't hide what we both know
But ooh the hurting grows every time I think it's over

[Verse 2]
You've been keeping all your secrets inside
I know the truth now baby you don't have to hide
But my mind wanders to the very first day
What a shame things had to turn out this way

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
No words could bring back your affection
And no lies could keep me holding on holding on and holding on

[Chorus]

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Let it go I keep telling myself over and over
Let it go, but my love's still strong I just can't keep on holding on
I know it's time for letting go time for letting go
