Lyrics:

You were amazing in ways I never knew
It's driving me crazy but I can't get over you
You were holding on and I was letting go
Looking for a love I thought I could control
All the things we said when we had a fight
Now I realize that I was wrong and you were right

But it's all right now
I need you back somehow

This is the last time baby that I let you go
This is the last time baby that I let you go
This is the last time baby that I let you

I never held you the way I'd hold you now
I wish I could change it, the way it all came down
It's killing me to know I let you get away
Holding on to all the things I didn't say
I thought I couldn't be the way you wanted me
But there is more to love than I could ever see

But it's all right now
I need you back somehow

This is the last time baby that I let you go
This is the last time baby that I let you go
This is the last time baby that I let you go
This is the last time baby that I let you go

Let's turn it around
I know that it's love that I've found
And I promise I won't let you down

This is the last time baby that I let you go
This is the last time baby that I let you go
This is the last time baby that I let you go
This is the last time baby that I let you go
