It is time to let you go

I have the strength to do it

I know that it will hurt

But it's time to let you go


Yes you have your issues

Ones that aren't your fault

You took it out on me

Now it's time to stop


I know it will hurt you

harder than you've been hurt before

It's time to let you go though

Yet I don't have the heart to let you know


You hurt me again and again

even after we talked and you said you'd stop

your promises aren't reliable

these problems aren't deniable


Though we're underage

you said we should do something we shouldn't

responsibly I declined

so you hurt me til' I cried


You won't hurt me anymore, I won't let you.

I know that it will hurt

You more than me

But I have to let you go

So maybe someday I'll be free

From your abusive words and captive leads


In the end, it will be worth it

So this is my goodbye

Though I'll never say it in person

I hope you find this tonight


I pray that you will heal

find better friends and lives

though it hurts me to hurt you

I'm done being the target of your knives


I'll remember the good memories

as we did have plenty of those

but our friendship had more thorns than petals on a dying rose


It's time to let you go, now.

It's time to let you go.
