I've been holding back words and waiting for time
'Cause there's a lesson here somewhere I know it's mine
And though I'll remember the promise we made
Promises don't justify feeling this way, any more
It's time for letting go
We can't hide what we both know
But ooh, the hurt grows
Everytime I think it's over
Now you've been keepin' all your secrets inside
I know the truth now baby, don't have to hide, no, no, no
But my mind wanders to the very first day
What a shame things had to turn out this way
It's time for letting go
We can't hide what we both know
But ooh, the hurt grows
Everytime I think it's over
No words, could bring back your affection
No lies could keep me holdin' on
Holdin' on and holdin' on
Now I know that it's time for letting go
We can't hide what we both know
But ooh, the hurt grows
Everytime I think it's over
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
"Let it go"
I keep tellin' myself over and over
"Let it go, go"
But my love's still strong
I just can't keep holdin' on
Holdin' on and holdin' on
I know, oh I know
