My mama always told me, if you truly love someone, don’t
Hold too tight, sometimes love is letting go
Sometimes love is letting go
You’ve fallen hard…event though
He shows you nothing…in return
But you still give everything
Cuz you’ve yet to learn
That if he’s yours, one day he’ll know

You know my dad always told me, that men don’t show their feelings easy, so I said, hey dad, the times I’ve seen you cry
Have been the most precious to me sometimes IS letting go

Sometime love…is letting go
And when you’re scared
Scared to let love show
And so afraid, your heart will break
Just let it happen, for your hearts sake
Sweet emotion you got to let it show
Sometimes love…is letting go

And when I finally grew up, I fell in love, but it didn’t last, we
Just didn’t belong together anymore, and I had to be strong
And say to myself, hey girl, sometimes love is letting go

Sometimes love…is letting go
We were flying high…now I’m lying low
In your arms like a stranger…you feel so cold
The truth is plain…but rarely told
You gotta stop saying yes, when you mean no
And if he’s yours…one day he’ll know
Sweet emotion you got to let it show
Sometimes love…is letting go
