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
