Right time and place, but the wrong circumstances
Your heart was open, but my heart was damaged
My momma loved you, but yours wasn't sure
You knew just what you wanted, and it made me insecure
The leaving hurt us both
But we were way less thorn than rose
There's love in letting go
Ain't no shame in coming close
You know it wasn't all worth nothing
If we didn't end up being something
You'll never be someone I wish I didn't know
There's love in letting go
Right time and place, but the wrong destination
Don't mean the miles on our journey were wasted
Maybe you'll never see me all dressed up in white
When I think about you, baby, maybe in another life
There's love in letting go
Ain't no shame in coming close
You know it wasn't all worth nothing
If we didn't end up being something
You'll never be someone I wish I didn't know
There's love in letting go, oh
You'll always be my 'so close'
And I'll always be your 'almost'
'Almost' hurts like hell
I'll just be somebody in a story you tell
You'll always be my 'wish it didn't end'
And I'll always be your 'what could've been'
Yeah, you could've been here right now
Instead of telling somebody how it didn't work out
There's love in letting go
Ain't no shame in coming close
You know it wasn't all worth nothing
If we didn't end up being something
You'll never be someone I wish I didn't know
There's love in letting go
Guess you were my hand to hold
But there's love in letting go
