Lyrics
Sometimes love, well, its not enough
do we care so much we dont see its true?
Its an easy plan to be a selfish man,
but understand I want whats best for you.
Its hard to hear it, I know;
and even harder yet to believe that its so.
Yeah, its hard to get, but Ive got to let you go.
I know its sadI thought wed always last;
but your Mom and Dad say Im holding you back.
And it aint no slight because I know their right
your futures bright, and my futures black.
Youve got such potential to grow.
There aint no limit to how far you can go.
Well, its hard to get, but Ive got to let you go.
Youve never seen yourself on that stage
youre a star in the making, I know.
So, baby, find the strength to walk away;
Id be the worst kind of man to stand in your way.
Listen, nows your moment to shine.
Youll live your life now and Ill live mine.
Maybe one day, youll be on stage about to play,
Ill shout and wave, and catch your eye,
then youll play that sweet sad love ballad
that you wrote back then to help you say goodbye.
Then youll crank it up and rock the show;
then walk off stage, arm in arm with your boy and your beau,
and thats when Ill regret that I ever let you go.
Thats when Ill regret that I ever let you go.
It will hurt and yet Ive got to let you go.
