Lyrics

Verse 1 – Male Vocal (You)]

I ain’t tryna fight, just want us to be okay,
You shut me down, then say you wanna stay.
You say it’s not me, but you still pull away,
And I’m stuck holdin’ on to yesterday.

⸻

[Verse 1 – Female Vocal (Carol)]

I don’t know how to talk when it hurts this bad,
Didn’t mean to push, didn’t mean to act like that.
It’s easier to say I’m fine,
Than show you the mess I keep inside.

⸻

[Chorus – Both (Alternating Lines, Harmonizing)]

(Male)
If I could let you go, I would’ve done it by now,
(Female)
If I knew how to stay, I wouldn’t shut you out.
(Male)
If I didn’t care, I’d turn and walk away,
(Female)
But the truth is, I want to, I just don’t know how to stay.
(Both)
We keep fallin’ into the same old hole…
If I could let you go.

⸻

[Verse 2 – Male Vocal]

I talk in circles just to keep you near,
You say “ok,” like I’m not even here.
Feels like I’m tryin’ for the both of us,
And I’m breakin’ every time you give up.

⸻

[Verse 2 – Female Vocal]

I hate that I hurt you when I don’t mean to,
I freeze up ‘cause I’m scared of losin’ you.
I don’t know why I always run,
But I’m tired of being the broken one.

⸻

[Chorus – Both]

(Male)
If I could let you go, I’d quit this tonight,
(Female)
If I could make it right, I swear I’d try.
(Male)
If I didn’t feel this deep in my bones,
(Female)
I wouldn’t keep coming back, just to feel alone.
(Both)
But we’re hangin’ on and we both know…
We just don’t know how to let it go.

⸻

[Bridge – Both (Trading lines)]

(Male)
You say “I’m sorry,” then disappear,
(Female)
I get lost inside my own fear.
(Male)
And I keep hoping that you’ll change,
(Female)
But I don’t know how to break the chain.

⸻

[Final Chorus – Both | Strong harmonies]

(Male)
If I could let you go, I’d be long gone,
(Female)
If I could hold on, I’d be strong.
(Male)
But this ain’t love if I’m on my own,
(Female)
And this ain’t fair when you feel alone.
(Both)
We say we care, but we never show…
Maybe it’s time to let it go.

⸻

[Outro – Both (Soft, fading out)]

(Male)
I still want you,
(Female)
But I don’t know how…
(Both)
To let you go…
