Lyrics
Letting You Go (mayone/hayes/santospago)
Well I'm letting you go loosening my grip
I'm cutting the ties and letting you drift
we rocked and we rambled lost when we gambled
hedging our bets
your kind of beauty cut right through me
now it's time to forget
I'm letting you go time will heal the wounds
a fading photograph a love that lay in ruins
we sang and we mingled partied like singles
dancing at the rotary
you were delicious every young mans wishes
look at what you did to me
look at what you did to me
I'm letting you go (what you did to me)
I'm letting you go (what you did to me)
Well I'm letting you go and I'll never be the same
flavors are dull and colors are gray
we loved like legends revving our engines
now you're getting rid of me/ true as any love could be
you were a vision, a beautiful prison
look at what you did to me
oh look at what you did to me
I'm letting you go (what you did to me)
I'm letting you go (what you did to me) Oooh
I'm letting you go (what you did to me)
I'm letting you go (what you did to me)
