I watched the light fade from her eyes
While she stood right next to me
I felt the distance in her touch Heard the truth in her silent speak
She smiled,
but it wasn't the same Her heart was somewhere else
I held on tight to her every night
While she was letting go herself
So I let her go
Even though it broke my soul
I loved her more than she knew But love can't force someone to hold
I stayed till there was nothing left Till I was the only one alone
Sometimes the hardest kind of love
Was letting her go
We used to talk till morning came
Dreams wrapped in her name
Now every word feels heavy Like I'm the one to blame
She deserved a love that felt alive Not someone begging her to stay
So I swallowed all my tears And stepped out of her way
If loving her means losing her I'll carry that pain with grace
I'd rather see her smile again Than keep her in a broken place
So I let her go Even though my heart screamed no
I chose to peace over my pain
Even when it killed my hope
It's so cold,
but I'll always love the girl I had to let go
Maybe one day
she'll remember me
Maybe she won't know
But I'll always remember
The moment I loved her enough to let her go
