I felt like a fool when you walked away
With a suitcase full of clothes in the middle of the night
There was nothing I really could say
To keep you from leaving me, without sparking a fight

I remember falling victim to your heart,
And hoping you’d rescue me, from everything I’d bottled up
I guess I was torn from the very start
I was fastened to a puzzle you didn’t want a piece of

I don't know what kept me, from wanting to let you go
I don't know what kept me, from wanting to let you go… let you go

So I took out some old pictures of you
From a cardboard box, that was underneath my bed
When I looked at them I snapped in two
They left a trail of memories, racing through my head

I don't know what kept me, from wanting to let you go
I don't know what kept me, from wanting to let you go… let you go

When I drove through the square, the streets felt somewhat emptier
And when I woke up each morning, huh, I could breath a little bit easier…

Several months ago you popped up on my phone
You musta moved to Austin to be with some other guy
Now it don’t bother me that I’m here alone
All things considered, I'm just glad you're doing fine

I don't know what kept me, from wanting to let you go
I don't know what kept me, from wanting to let you go
I don’t know what kept me,
I don’t know what kept me,
I don’t know what kept me, from wanting to let you go… Let you go
