I couldn't be everything that you wanted
I couldn't tell you everything that I wanted
I wanted to tell you what you did for me
I wanted to need you cause I needed to know

I couldn't be there
And I couldn't hold you here
So I had to let you go

I started writing and I was so happy
I started thinking about all the fun we had
We traveled and we found each other
I wasn't strong enough to know

I couldn't be there
I couldn't hold you here
So I had to let you go

It wasn't me who said I'm leaving
No, oh maybe it was
Hell I don't know

I couldn't be there
And I couldn't hold you here
So I had to let you go

I wish you well in all your journeys
I think you'll do everything that you wanted.
I'll start thinking about you being happy
Then I won't feel so bad when I'm all alone

I couldn't be there
And I couldn't hold you here
So I had to let you go

I had to let you go
