[Intro]
Girl I had to let you go (x3)
For nothing, for nothing, girl I had to let you go
(x2)

[Verse 1]
Never thought I'd see the end
Never thought I'd see the day I'd lose my special friend
Never thought I'd be the one to try and make amends
and I never thought that this was real, why can't it be pretend?
You kept our love 100, realest as can ever be
Now I'm on the edge writing up heartbroken symphonies
I can't understand the change, it'll always be a mystery
but that chapter of our story's over, now we're history
It's now or never, it's time to make it right
'cause every thought in my head, it's just you all in my sight
You left me in the dark, you were my only light
Girl you shine bright like a diamond, and to wear you I just might
But I wore you down, I gave you all the stressin'
You caught me with another chick, I never learned my lesson
But girl you was my blessin', so gorgeous and so stunnin'
It hurt me that I hurt you, so I had to let you go

[Chorus]
For nothing (for nothing), girl I had to let you go (x8)

[Verse 2]
For nothing, for nothing, girl I had to let you go
I had to get my shit in order, so that's how I let you know
That I wasn't ready for your love, at all
and for all the times I broke your pretty heart, my fault
It's not how I planned for it to be
but I can't stand to see you cry anymore tears over me
The love we had was sweet, nothing could compete
I can't hurt you anymore so I had to let you free
I hope one day in the future, once again, that we could meet
So we can try it out again, 'cause you just made my life complete
'Cause with your love missing, I don't know what to do
'Cause these girls can't match your style, and they can't love me like you
So I'll just pray to God, I hope he hears me out
'Cause I need my only angel, he knows what I'm talking 'bout
'Cause girl you was my blessin', so gorgeous and so stunnin'
It hurt me that I hurt you, so I had to let you go

[Chorus] (x2)

[Bridge]
Girl I had to let you go
But girl it really hurt me so
Girl I had to let you know
That I love you, but I had to let you go
(x2)

[Chorus]
