David A. Bell - Let Her Go Lyrics

After all the trying
You see tears in her eyes
No more "see you laters"
Only choked up goodbyes
The things you two would do together
The places you'd go
But the only place she's going to
Is the land of eternal woe
Don't throw her down a wishing well
Thinking she'll love you back
She won't think that you're the one
She'll think you're just a hack
And when the dust has settled, you will know
When the moment was right, you should've just let her go

You decide to give her a call
You don't wanna be alone
But there's no use in coming up with words
Since she won't pick up the phone
With all of these fish in the sea
Why settle with this lass?
Why settle with a Crappie
When you can have a bass?
Don't try to prove your love for her
Hoping she'll understand
She'll only throw up her hands and scream
It's you she cannot stand
And after she has gone, you will know
When you had the chance, you should've just let her go
