Didn’t want to go and mess around
So I packed my things
Left you some money and my ring
Don’t want you to hurt for anything
I’m just trying to be kind
You’ve been heavy on my mind
You know I can’t stay
I know that you need
Something you can’t get from me
It’s better off this waySo let me go baby – Don’t cry
Let me go darling – I don’t mind
So let me go baby – Don’t cry
Cause I can’t be the one that you’ve been waiting forDidn’t want to be the one to bring you down
But it’s up to me
It’s my responsibility
I gotta be a man and set you free
Cause you had your dreams
And hard as it seems
It’s better off this way
I’d just be keeping you down
Don’t need me around anyhow
I just get in your waySo let me go baby – Don’t cry
Let me go darling – I don’t mind
So let me go baby – Don’t cry
Cause I can’t be the one that you’ve been waiting for

So let me go baby – Don’t cry
Let me go darling – I don’t mind
So let me go baby – Don’t cry
Cause I can’t be the one that you’ve been waiting for

If you get lonely
You ever find yourself looking for me… don’t
You can’t trust those memories of us
We can’t go back to the way it was

So let me go baby – Don’t cry
Let me go darling – I don’t mind
So let me go baby – Don’t cry
Cause I can’t be the one that you’ve been waiting for
