FILM VERSION

I know it's hard to cry

When your heart's not really in this
Can we say "goodbye"
And this time really mean it

I don't know if it's you or me 
That's holding on so desperately
I know that I can't do this on my own
I need you
I'll always love you
But let me let go
Just let me let go
WRITTEN BY MATT ZARLEY & JEB HAVENS
PRODUCED BY 
MATT ZARLEY & ANDY ZULLA

Piano: Matt Cusson
Strings: Jon Dexter

ALBUM VERSION

Touching down at LAX
Six hours, knowin' something's not quite right
I start my phone and read your text
Saying "baby, thought that maybe
You'd take a taxi home tonight"

Last man standing by the baggage claim
Too scared to move
Too scared of change

I KNOW IT'S HARD TO CRY
WHEN YOU'RE HEART'S NOT REALLY IN THIS
CAN WE SAY GOODBYE
AND THIS TIME REALLY MEAN IT
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S YOU OR ME
WHO'S HOLDING ON SO DESPERATELY
I KNOW THAT I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH ALONE
I NEED YOU
I NEED YOU 
TO LET ME LET GO

The aching truth that we've been running from
Like strangers in a life that might have been
You'll always be my unfinished love

Can't preserve it 
Still was worth it
Even if not perfect in the end

And though our lives may take us anywhere
I'll be the last man stznding for ya
Call me 
I'll be there

I KNOW IT'S HARD TO CRY
WHEN YOU'RE HEART'S NOT REALLY IN THIS
CAN WE SAY GOODBYE
AND THIS TIME REALLY MEAN IT
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S YOU OR ME
WHO'S HOLDING ON SO DESPERATELY
I KNOW THAT I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH ALONE
I NEED YOU
I NEED YOU 
TO LET ME LET GO

How many times can we give it one more try
Can't imagine livin' this without you by my side
Oh, I need you 
I need you

I KNOW IT'S HARD TO CRY
WHEN YOU'RE HEART'S NOT REALLY IN THIS
CAN WE SAY GOODBYE
AND THIS TIME REALLY MEAN IT
WE BOTH KNOW IT'S YOU AND ME
WE'VE BEEN HOLDING ON SO PATIENTLY
I KNOW THAT I CAN'T DO THIS ON MY OWN
I NEED YOU
I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU 
BUT LET ME LET GO
JUST LET ME LET GO
