Time for Letting Go

I've been holding back words and waiting for time 'Cause 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 hurt 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, oh It's time for letting go We can't hide what we both know But ooh, the hurt grows Every time I think it's over No words could bring back your affection And no lies could keep me holding on And holding on and holding on, yeah And now I know it's time for letting go We can't hide what we both know But ooh, the hurt 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 telling 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 And holding on and holding on I know, oh, I know
