[Verse 1]
There was a time when you were proud
You looked up to me with big eyes and I could do no wrong
There's something inside that's clearly tearing both of us apart
Ooh, there's something inside

[Verse 2]
I wonder where you are tonight
And what you did with your day, can't find the words to say
Did you feel the sun, did you feel the warmness of my heart?
Ooh, did you feel at all?

[Pre-Chorus]
They say if you love someone
You gotta let them go
And if they return to you
That's surely how you'll know

[Chorus]
Ooh, I can read the writing on the wall
Ooh, but I can't let go

[Pre-Chorus]
They say if you love someone
You gotta let them go
And if they return to you
That's surely how you'll know
[Chorus]
Ooh, I can read the writing on the wall
Ooh, but I can't let go

[Verse 3]
I'm hopelessly aware
Of the good and the bad traits we share, it's like looking at myself
I know that at times I could've handled things differently
Ooh, but know my intentions were well

[Pre-Chorus]
They say if you love someone
You gotta let them go
And if they return to you
That's surely how you'll know

[Chorus]
Ooh, I can read the writing on the wall
Ooh, but I can't let go
