Love in Letting Go

Right time and place but the wrong circumstances

Your heart was open, but my heart was damaged

My mama loved you, but yours wasn't sure

You knew just what you wanted, and it made me insecure

The leaving hurt us both

We were way less thorn than rose

There's love in letting go

Ain't no shame in coming close

You know it wasn't all worth nothing

If we didn't end up being something

You'll never be someone I wish I didn't know

There's love in letting go

Right time and place, but the wrong destination

Don't mean the miles on our journey were wasted

Maybe you'll never see me all dressed up in white

When I think about you baby, maybe in another life

There's love in letting go

Ain't no shame in coming close

You know it wasn't all worth nothing

If we didn't end up being something

You'll never be someone I wish I didn't know

There's love in letting go

You'll always be my so close

And I'll always be your almost

Almost hurts like hell

I'll just be somebody in the story you tell

You'll always be my wish it didn't end

And I'll always be your what could've been

Yeah, you could've been here right now

Instead of telling somebody how it didn't work out

There's love in letting go

Ain't no shame in coming close

You know it wasn't all worth nothing

If we didn't end up being something

You'll never be someone I wish I didn't know

There's love in letting go

Guess you were my hand to hold

But there's love in letting go
