I've been holding back words  And waiting for time  'Cause there's a lesson here somewhere  I know it's mine  And though I'll remember the promise we made  Promises don't justify feeling this way anymore  It's time for letting go  We can't hide what we both know  But ooh, the hurt grows  Every time I think it's over  You've been keeping all your secrets inside  I know the truth now baby  You don't have to hide, no no no  But my mind wanders to the very first day  What a shame things had to turn out this way  Oh, it's time for letting go  We can't hide what we both know  But ooh, the hurt grows  Every time I think it's over  No words could bring back your affection  And no lies could keep me holding on  And holding on and holding on, yeah  And now I know it's time for letting go  We can't hide what we both know  But ooh, the hurt grows  Every time I think it's over  It's time to realize  That we're both just living lies  And way down deep inside  The time is telling me it's time for letting go  Let it go  I keep telling myself over and over  Let it go  But my love's still strong  I just can't keep holding on  And holding on and holding on  I know, oh I know
