I've been holding back words and waiting for time
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, anymore

It's time for letting go
We can't hide what we both know
But ooh, the hurtin' grows
Every time I think it's over

You've been keeping all your secrets inside
I know the truth now, baby, you 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

Now I know it's time for letting go
We can't hide what we both know
But ooh, the hurtin' grows
Every time I think it's over

No words could bring back your affection
No lies could keep me holding on
Holding on and holding on

Now I know that it's time for letting go
We can't hide what we both know
But ooh, the hurtin' grows
Every time 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 tellng me it's time for letting go

Let it go
I keep telling myself over and over
Let it go
But my love's still strong

I just can't keep holding on
Holding on and holding on
I know
(Time for letting go)
It's time for letting go
(Time for letting go)
Time for letting go
(Time for letting go)
Go, go
Time for letting go
