[Verse 1]
I walked in circles every day
Wishin' I could take this pain away
In angry rage, I couldn't see
I can't let go even though I set you free

[Verse 2]
The roses I bought are on the floor
You tried to walk out the door
This gun will keep you here with me
I can't let go even though I set you free

[Chorus 1]
Too late, my love, to turn back
Too many, many tears you cried each night
My love for you was first degree
I can't let go even though I set you free

[Verse 3]
They'll place some roses on your grave
The judge won't show me any grace
And the Lord, no he won't forgive me
I can't let go even though I set you free

[Chorus 2]
Too late, my love, to turn back
So many, many tears I cried each night
My love for you was in the first degree
I can't let go even though I set you free
I can't let go even though I set you free
