Is it supposed to be like a never-ending train ride?
Or waiting for a grey sky to turn to sun?
I kiss you when I feel it
We talk like we're defeated
We're just scared of bein' quitters after this love
So won't you say the words we're chokin' on?
I need to let you go, let you go
It's better for us both
You don't see it but I'm doin' us a favour
I need to let you go, let you go
'Cause when you know, you know (you know)
And it's hurting right now but you'll thank me later
I need to let you go
Let's not decorate the sadness
Let's just rip off the Band-Aid
And hug and say it's okay, we stop right here
The sooner that we're not together, you'll find someone better
But if we're gonna get there
Oh, if we're gonna get there
I need to let you go, let you go
It's better for us both
You don't see it but I'm doin' us a favour
I need to let you go (let you go), let you go (let you go)
'Cause when you know, you know
And it's hurting right now but you'll thank me later
I need to let you go
I know nothing's ever promised
But I hate walking away
'Cause this isn't how I saw it
Tears running down my face (down my face)
I know nothing's ever promised
I hate walking away
'Cause this isn't how I saw it
I need to let you go, let you go
It's better for us both
You don't see it but I'm doin' us a favour
I need to let you go (let you go), let you go (let you go)
'Cause when you know, you know (when you know, you know)
And it's hurting right now but you'll thank me later
I need to let you go (let you go)
I know nothing's ever promised (let you go)
(When you know, you know, let you go)
'Cause this isn't how I saw it
I need to let you go
