Song # 5

gotta go

Verse 1

there is nothing left to say

these endless games we always play

as I lay here tryin’ to sleep

but all I can do is weep

I know it’s time to let you go

yet there’s something you gotta know

I never will forget you, then

though I’ll never see you again

 

Chorus 1

over before it really started

yet still I’m broken hearted

I know you gotta go

though we’ll never be together

this storm we could not weather

still I want – want you to know

my only dying wish is

that you will find your bliss

wherever you may go

don’t let your heart be bitter

you’ll find someone much better

free now, I let you go

 

still it’s hard just letting you go –

I know you gotta go

 

Verse 2

wherever life takes you each day

I hope you never lose your way

and in my heart I’ll always keep

a little part of you with me

I hope you find all that you need

and regrets never haunt your sleep

don’t look back, you’ll be ok

I know you’re gone, I won’t ask you to stay

 

Chorus 1

over before it really started

yet still I’m broken hearted

I know you gotta go

though we’ll never be together

this storm we could not weather

still I want – want you to know

my only dying wish is

that you will find your bliss

wherever you may go

don’t let your heart be bitter

you’ll find someone much better

free now, I let you go

 

still it’s hard just letting you go –

I know you gotta go

  

Verse 3

and when you look back on this day

I’m sure inside your heart will say

that though it wasn’t meant to be

you’ll always keep a part of me

and when you find somebody new

I’ll know he’s blessed to be with you

for your beauty held inside

lights your inner soul, don’t let it hide

 

Chorus 2

over before it really started

yet still I’m broken hearted

I know you gotta go

though we’ll never be together

this storm we could not weather

still I want – want you to know

my only dying wish is

that you will find your bliss

wherever you may go

don’t let your heart be bitter

you’ll find someone much better

free now, I let you go

 

oh oh oh ohhhh

I let you go

oh oh oh ohhh

don’t wanna let you go

oh oh oh ohhhh

I know you gotta go

oh oh oh ohhh

you’re gone I know

 

still it’s hard just letting you go –

I know you gotta go

 He said, "Why should I tarry?"

And smiled with tranquil eye;

"In destinies sad or merry,

True men can but try."
