Oh, before we got too high above the ground

Suddenly I knew the best that I could do was let you down

Oh, well, the longer that we hung around

I knew would only serve to dig us deeper down

And the best that I could do was leave you down and out

Though all I ever wanted was to do right by you

I couldn’t prove it standing there beside you

Yeah, the easy way out would have been to stick around

Oh, before we got too high above the ground

Suddenly I knew the best that I could do was let you down

Oh, before we got too high above the ground

Suddenly I knew the best that I could do was let you down

Oh, I know that there’s a heart of gold you hold inside

I’ve seen it glow so many times

And the thought of leaving you is leaving me broken down

Though all I ever wanted was to do right by you

I couldn’t prove it standing there beside you

Yeah, the easy way out would have been to stick around

Still I wish there was some kind of switch that I could turn on

When love won’t stay strong

To keep everything from going wrong

Cause all my life, seems like every time

There was more love in letting go

Than I could ever give in holding on

Oh, before we got too high above the ground

Suddenly I knew the best that I could do was let you down

And I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe in another time around Suddenly I knew the best that I could do was let you down

Suddenly I knew the best that I could do was let you down

All my life, every time

There was more love in letting go

Every time

Than there ever was in holding on
