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
