I've grown a lot in the past five years You've helped me out with all my fears You're there for me when ever I'm in need But now your eyes are filled with tears Because your afraid I'll disappear you're just Scared that I don't want you here And I don't want you near I'm growing up like everyone Soon you'll be all alone I know How hard it is to be alone For so long you've held me close Under protection of your wing Never thinking of this Now your afraid I might not remember All the things you taught me In eighteen years So when I say this please remember That you mean the whole world to me But you're gonna have to try to let me go You've got to learn to let me go now Let me go you've got to learn to let me go Last night when you told me that you thought You lost my love I couldn't figure who you were thinking of Some one new just took my love No need to fall apart Cause I still feel the same Don't go out to play tonight Don't go out to bars there's Too many fights there I can't stand this waiting in the Dark for you again But when I get back home tonight you'll be Waiting there just like last night I know that some time again you will love me But I can't read your mind so please understand That the cards are in my hands And you can't be the judge in my life It's complicated enough already sometimes You might believe that I'm on strike But please let me choose my owe path Let me go you have to learn to Let me go now let me go My heart still needs some time to grow
