All I wanna do is hold you tight
All I wanna do is guide you safely through the night
All I wanna do is make things right
All I wanna do is see you feeling free and light
I'm giving you my heart's permission
If this is what you need, I'll let you go
Blame it on my inhibitions
Keeping me from taking part in the show
Im giving you my heart's permission
If this where it ends just let me know
We're in such a poor condition
I know I have to let you go
(I think I lost you long ago)
I really have to let you go
(Can't I preserve the status quo?)
I know I have to let you go
Maybe there's a way to make you see
You belong right here, and there's a place for you and me
I know this is just a desperate plea
I just need to know for sure you want to be set free
I'm giving you my heart's permission
If this is what you need, I'll let you go
It's a very hard decision
Hanging out my heart to freeze in the snow
Im giving you my heart's permission
If this where it ends just let me know
If it's really your position
I'm gonna have to let you go
(I think I lost you long ago)
I really have to let you go
(Can't we preserve the status quo?)
I know I have to let you go
(I still believe that we can grow)
I really have to let you go
(You know you had me at hello)
I know I have to let you go
I'm giving you my heart's permission
If this is what you need, I'll let you go
I'm trying to avoid division
But I may have to let you go
(I still believe that we can grow)
I really have to let you go
(You know you had me at hello)
I know I have to let you go
(I think I lost you long ago)
Why do I have to let you go
(Can't we preserve the status quo?)
