about
Letting You Go is the debut single of Nothing Gold Can Stay, the band and alter ego of Stijn Debontridder.
lyrics
I’ve been letting go
Stopped avoiding the past
Stopped thinking you owe me
I hope you fade so fast
It’s getting harder to remember
The two people we used to be
Now we’re halfway through December
You used to love our Christmas tree
You used to say I pulled away
Can you blame me for trying?
I used to think that we’d someday
Rectify all our wrongs
I’ve been letting go
Stopped avoiding the past
Stopped thinking you owe / me
I’ve let you go so fast
I wished things would be different
I wasn’t at my best
I didn’t even consider
Putting this to rest
Driving back home tomorrow
Can’t bring myself to it today
Have to get rid of my sorrow
Though I’d love for you to stay
You used to say that I was so strong
I believed you to a fault
Used to feel like I belonged
Now I’m just dragging you along
But I’ve been letting go
Stopped avoiding the past
Stopped thinking you owe / me
I’ve let you go so fast
I wished things would be different
I wasn’t at my best
I didn’t even consider
Putting this to rest
I’ve been letting go
Stopped avoiding the past
Stopped thinking you owe me
I hope you fade so fast
