The greener it gets the memory fades
And what’s left will soon be gone
Be aware of the lies
You know they’re not true
All your kisses show me wrong

The darker it gets the more is to lose
And for me it means to fail
Though I know what to do still it’s hard to let go
When you know me so damn well

That the touch of your hand’s the reason
To live and the loss the reason to cry
There’s no love in this world
No drug or success that could make me that high

You have to let me go
If you ever loved me
You gotta let me go

Words that’ve been said will lose
What they’re worth if you keep on wanting more
How can I ever think of you letting go
When your body proves me wrong

The reason to stay, I know what you need
I can read your mind and tell
Though I know what to do still it’s hard
To let go when I know you so damn well

That the touch of your hand’s the reason
To live and the loss the reason to cry
There’s no love in this world
No drug or success that could make me that high

You have to let me go
If you ever loved me
You gotta let me go

Now that I know it’s over
Now that I know it’s gone
Now that I know you lost it
Now I’ll be moving on

You have to let me go
If you ever loved me
You gotta let me go
You gotta let me go
You gotta let me go
