Got to Let You Go by Dj Lekich

Sometimes love, well, it’s not enough—
do we care so much we don’t see it’s true?
It’s an easy plan to be a selfish man,
but understand I want what’s best for you.

It’s hard to hear it, I know;
and even harder yet to believe that it’s so.
Yeah, it’s hard to get, but I’ve got to let you go.

I know it’s sad—I thought we’d always last;
but your Mom and Dad say I’m holding you back.
And it ain’t no slight because I know their right—
your future’s bright, and my future’s black.

You’ve got such potential to grow.
There ain’t no limit to how far you can go.
Well, it’s hard to get, but I’ve got to let you go.

You’ve never seen yourself on that stage—
you’re a star in the making, I know.
So, baby, find the strength to walk away;
I’d be the worst kind of man to stand in your way.
Listen, now’s your moment to shine.
You’ll live your life now and I’ll live mine.

Maybe one day, you’ll be on stage about to play,
I’ll shout and wave, and catch your eye,
then you’ll play that sweet sad love ballad
that you wrote back then to help you say goodbye.

Then you’ll crank it up and rock the show;
then walk off stage, arm in arm with your boy and your beau,
and that’s when I’ll regret that I ever let you go.
That’s when I’ll regret that I ever let you go.
It will hurt and yet I’ve got to let you go.
