baby come here and sit down, let's talk
i got a lot to say so i guess i'll start by
saying that i love you,
but you know, this thing ain't been
no walk in the park for us
i swear it'll only take a minute
you'll understand when i finish, yeah
and i don't wanna see you cry
but i don't wanna be the one to tell you a lie so

[hook]
how do you let it go? when you,
you just don't know? what's on,
the other side of the door
when you're walking out, talk about it
everything i tried to remember to say
just went out my head
so i'ma do the best i can to get you to understand

[refren]
there's never a right time to say goodbye
but i gotta make the first move
'cause if i don't you gonna start hating me
cause i really don't feel the way i once felt about you
girl it's not you, it's me
i gotta gotta figure out what i need
there's never a right time to say goodbye
but we know that we gotta go
our separate ways
and i know it's hard but i gotta do it,
and it's killing me
cause there's never a right time
right time to say goodbye

but now your heart is breaking
and a thousand times i
found myself asking, "why? why?"
why am i taking so long to say this?
but trust me, girl i never
meant to crush your world
and i never
though i would see the day we grew apart
and i wanna know

[hook]
how do you let it go? when you,
you just don't know? what's on,
