If You Love Them (let Them Go)

I looked up, saw you coming
Stood my ground,
You couldn't know i'd been running
I watched my feet as you grew closer
We stood still, silent for a while
Been so long since I've seen your smile
It's not right
But I miss you so much

(chorus)
When you make a bad call
Cuz youre afraid to fall
And you dont know what to do
When you put yourself first
Always expect the worst
Cuz thats what comes through
Even perfect things start to break apart
When theyre pushed too hard
Nothing lasts forever
If you love them,
Let them go

We were strong
But stronger together
I asked how long
You said forever
You told me lies I thought were true
So I reacted when you changed the rules

(chorus)
When you make a bad call
Cuz youre afraid to fall
And you dont know what to do
When you put yourself first
Always expect the worst
Cuz thats what comes through
Even perfect things start to break apart
When theyre pushed too hard
Nothing lasts forever
If you love them,
Let them go

I know this is my fault
I've put you through hell
But I've been there and back
Because of you
I know that youre not happy
I know you say youre done
I said that too but youre the honest one

(chorus)
When you make a bad call
Cuz youre afraid to fall
And you dont know what to do
When you put yourself first
Always expect the worst
Cuz thats what comes through
Even perfect things start to break apart
When theyre pushed too hard
Nothing lasts forever
If you love them,
Let them go

Let them go
I looked up, saw you coming
Stood my ground,
You couldn't know I'd been running
