A red swing in the garden
Too drunk on the bourbon
I was high above the sky
When you put my guard down
And I just put it all out
I was on my way to cry
But the timin' was wrong
'Cause I had another one at home
Where I thought I belong (Thought I belong)
I should've known
That somethin' was wrong
You can't fall in love if you're in love
You shouldn't feel better when you're off alone
You know
Sometimes it takes somebody new to let someone go
Sometimes mistakes makes you move where you need to go
Just like any flower, you look sad if you don't grow
Sometimes it takes somebody new
To let someone go
To let someone go
To let someone go, mm-mm-mmh
To let someone go
To let someone go
Sometimes it takes somebody new
To let someone go, ahh
To let someone go, mm-mm-mmh
Was good 'til it wasn't
I took all his problems
And I made them into mine
It was never no one's fault
But I needed a wake up call
I was better for him
Than he was for me
No, I can't be strong
If I never put myself first
And keep holdin' on (Keep holdin' on)
Just makes it worse
Yeah, somethin' was wrong (Somethin' was wrong)
You can't fall in love if you're in love
You shouldn't feel better when you're off apart
You know
Sometimes it takes somebody new to let someone go (To let someone go)
Sometimes mistakes makes you move where you need to go
Just like any flower, you look sad if you don't grow
Sometimes it takes somebody new
To let someone go
To let someone go
To let someone go, mm-mm-mmh
To let someone go (To let someone go)
To let someone go (To let someone go)
Sometimes it takes somebody new
To let someone go
